my 96 sentra gxe has been making a nocking noise its wierd it sounds like a desiel engine its been happening for about 3 mos now ive changed the oil and the oil filter and spark plugs ive tryed better gas ive tryed fuel treatments and its still knocking anything will help
Yes timing advance would cause the car to lug and lope if it was detonating. But also if the car is detonating, THATS BAD, so either way go to a mechanic have him listen, and he can tell you just by the sound!
ive heard that if there is an oily residue on your old spak plug that you either have a bad rod or piston rings or it could be a leakey head gasket no sign of oil on the spark plugs ive also read here that it could be the water pump as opposed to the timing belt man i dont even know where the water pump is and shes not really slugish it dosent really make the noise until it gets warm i dont know maybe i should just sell it
one thing to consider is the check valve on the cylinder head, wherein the oil is drained from the head and the valves make a rattling/ticking noise at start-up, and when oil pressure is restored, noise goes away.....

I've got that ticking noise at start-up for about a couple of seconds before it goes again. Where is this check valve located on the head? Should I be worried about the noise? Thanks.
Hey i have the same car as you "96 sentra GXE" and for some reason my car makes a rattling/knocking sound when i 1st start it then it goes away after it reaches temp! could this be the same problem???? does anyone know what it can be
well ive read the manual and it says that it could be a number of thiungs mostly ignition timing or injectors and the fuel filter i just reseald the valve cover gasket and replaced the filter and im gonna replace the plug wires ihavent drove it yet but its probably still doin the same thing if it is im gonna have to fix the timing i just hope it isnt the valve timing its a tremendous job and im still clueless
