First off, I have a 1997 Zetec, MTX.
I made a post, probobly a month ago, stating how I heard a "crackling" under hard acceleration. My father took a ride with me recently and said it sounded as if my valve timing is off. If I put the car in 4th gear, around 30mph, and press the pedal, you hear the noise for a brief moment. Also, the noise is not evident when the car is cold, though quite loud when the engine is warmed up and under load.
I was curious if anyone could tell me first off, if it is possible to changed the timing on the zetec, and if so, possibly how, or what I need to do it?
Any help is greatly appriciated.
