oh yeah, one more thing. Before all of this happened, before the coil replacement, I have a...a sound. Pretty much it like a card hitting the spokes on a bicycle wheel while moving sound, very metallic and tingy. This sound happens mainly above 3000rpm all the way to redline, and upon decelerlation also. Very prevalent from the drivers side, inside to car. ...



This sounds really bad. Spun rod bearing? What is the oil level on the dipstick now?

Tony, My oil level is 1/4 over full...as usual. I have already replaced 1 engine @ 50,000 for oil starvation.

I charged my battery last night, started it up today - Voltage across terminals was 12.44, running, same voltage when off.

Pretty sure its my alternator. Funny thing though, when I started it, it hung at 3000 for about 5 seconds before falling to idle. Tried it twice, same result. What is that about? (I know the CSVT has throttle hang issues, mine has done it before but only under acc/decleration).
