engine "takatak-katak" sounds while running

[eagle]

Mazda 323 sedan 93; Paghirap yon makina tumutunog ng "takatak-katak" parang ganun, lala pagpinilit ko apakn yon gas pedal. Pagtumakbo sa highway minsan myron parin tunog. Patulong naman pano ang gagawin dito. tnx.

hmmmm... hindi kaya tok tok na ang sound? ano bang RON ng gas mo?

[eagle]

sir, parang typewriter pag tumunog...

[aceshark]

ganyan din sa akin lalo na kapag pa-akyat yung kalye.... pero sandali lang. nawawala agad.

may solution ba iyo? or ganito talaga mag old n kotse. Na-adjust ko na distributor advance and downgrade. Pag-downgrade mo naman wala sa timing mamatayan ng makina. So I turn it back to the original setting.

mas maganda siguro kung pa-tune up mo na lang bro para wala ka nang alalahanin.

pre...try using gasoline with higher octane value...baka mawala...

sa distributor ang ingay na yan. ganyan din sa akin. yung takatak sa mismong harapan ng driver side galing. kung luma na yung distributor cap nyo its time to change it. isama na nyo palitan ang contact point at condenser.

on the other hand is that a DOHC engine? some 323's have SOHC B6 and others have DOHC. the 323 DOHC B6 engine has hydraulic lash adjusters (a.k.a. lifters) and the typewriter sound is very common. it's only cosmetic (doesn't cause damage or reduce engine performance) but can be annoying.

eagle,

usually mali yng timing nyan sa distributor... or maliit masyado yng gap ng contact point.

DIY ako sa pag-set ng timing ng VW beetle & kombi ng dad ko. pag sakto yng timing (+0, meaning yng piston 1 is at the topmost and yng distributor rotor nakatutok sa spark plug #1) dun lagi naririnig yng takatak sound. i-advance mo na lng ng konti (between +2 to +5) then do a test drive. pag sobra advanced, mawawalan ka naman ng power. pag naka retard naman, hihina hatak ng engine mo (and may cause backfire).

sa contact point, don't know kng ano yng standard gap for mazda. sa VW kc #18 filler ang standard gap.

don't worry, di naman masisira engine mo sa 'takatak' sound. medyo mahina lng yng arangkada o hatak ng engine (from 1,000 rpm to 2,000 rpm) and usually yng maririnig mo yng takatak sound pag nasa 3rd or 4th gear ka & u tried to floor the gas pedal.

HTH.

sounds like engine knock. try using a fuel with a higher ron (registered octane number) rating

[afrasay]

tune up, adjust tappets, get a higher octane fuel and shift at the appropriate speed.

try this one sir, Have a major tune up. Adjust tappets then that tok sounds will go away....

[finchy18]

tol 95+ octane gamiton mo tapos ipa tuned up mo yung distributor and A/F

[nestordreamin']

Tignan mo kung may diaphragm sa ilalim ng distributor malapit sa engine block. Subukan palitan ito sabay tune up. Gumamit ng 95+ octane

[nestordreamin']

Ang tawag ng dati kong mekaniko dyan ay "tope".

[rayban7g]

that sound maybe as simple as, detonation, pre-ignition, pinging, knocking etc. (tope).. try using a higher octane rating + tune your car correctly (timing, plugs). http://www.carbibles.com/fuel_engine_bible.html

saan maganda magkarga ng higher RON fuel?

[rayban7g]

saan maganda magkarga ng higher RON fuel?

basta 93+ RON ok na, like shell premium, (unleaded nila matabang!), caltex gold techron 95+, velocity 95+, blaze 96+,.. now i'm just using caltex silver, ok naman, for long driving, pede na siguro kahit 'gold' or premium ng shell!
