[QUOTE="ml504, post: 16095707, member: 64015"] Just purchased the car and currently has 138,000 miles and I’m looking on advice on where to start working the bugs out. This is what I know so far: 1. Car has a knocking noise but doesn’t sound like it is an internal engine, almost sounds like something is loose. Higher rpms and it goes away. Any ideas on where to start looking? 2. Clutch has vibration when depressing, very stiff going into any gear. Is it time to replace? 3. Check engine light has been disabled by a previous tuner so I’m not even sure what codes are being thrown (said it was disabled to pass emission test). Not much info was given. What is best way to get back to basics to know what is going on? 4. Local shop did a smoke test and said it was leaking at intake due to a possible crack. Is this common/what is best option? I know it is a lot of questions at once and I hope to get some more time this week to get more info, I just need some basic starting points from people who know these cars as I’m kinda starting blind not knowing the history. The car has 4.10 gears, long tubes, maybe pulleys but is otherwise stock from what I’m told. Thanks, Matt [/QUOTE]
