Engine noise when decelerating

Post by kevinhenry »

Hello, Recently the engine always makes noise when decelerating and stopping or when the engine starts but does not start. That could be the thick bearing sound.
Does anyone know what the cause is? Thank!

Can you describe the noise? I don't know what 'the thick bearing sound' is. And - 'when the engine starts but does not start'? Do you mean when it is turned over but does not fire up?

Do you mean ‘ back-firing’? Either in the exhaust, or through the carburettor whe attempting to start the engine?

Hi, if you've a utube account perhaps you could make a short film. Hopefully that'll help an identify this noise.

Ps, a word of caution though, don't film film while you are driving your car. Just film on your own land or in your garage.

Thanks.👍
