ok so i'll keep it simple and put it in point form, if anyone can help me in what to do next:
got new motor put into my CB lancer, its a G4CP from hyundai sonata. similar to the 4g63 NA if not the same.
previous owner had the timing belt changed and misaligned it by 2 teeth so she vibrates like hell on idle. But still drove fine.
We fixed that up, and she was alot better with more power.
But on start up while trying to crank over, she cranks over, maybe twice then it felt stuck. have to try 3 times and then it'll "latch" on and start.
Now, while driving, very noise tappet sound came from the motor. The power also dropped, the engine got more lumpy, kind of like the sound of misfire. I would be cruising at 60 and once i took my foot off the pedal, it'll be kinda "jumpy". the engine would feel like its jumping. It also would hunt idle at the lights.
The tappet like sound got louder and louder so i panicked and stopped the car.
Tried to start it over after 15mins, it would crank over but not start, just sit there cranking.
If you gave it some gas, it'll crank and sound like it'll start, very noisy "clack clack" sound from the engine but then it would just stall once you got off the gas.
Does anyone have any pointers to what i should check? we only just put the motor in so Im quite depressed now that the motor isnt running.
thanks guys
