xr3i engine tapping noise and idle probs
hi all
just piked me self up an 1988 orion 1.6i for a song, mint contd.
the only prob i have is ther is a tapping noise from the engine that varies with the speed, me m8s dad has said could be the tappets but there suppost to be self adjusting, ive stuck me ear under there and it sounds more like its comeing from inside the intake not under the rocker cover,
the other little nag is the engine doesnt like to idle now and again, sometimes shes fine, next min ill pull up the revs drop and she cuts out,
and help plz
cheerz
