noisy engine problem in 93 impreza

G

Godfrey Muganda

Hi all,
My 93 impreza just developed a loud noise coming from the engine.
Noise is loudest while idling, it seems to die down somewhat when I press
the
gas pedal and give the engine a lot of gas. It sounds like a tractor. Once
in a while
while I am stopped in neutral the engine will rev up for just a second,
without my pressing
the gas.

I changed the spark plugs and spark plug wires, to no avail.

Any ideas of what is wrong will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Godfrey
 
Thanks Ed.
That seems to make sense.

I had the timing belt replaced 8 months ago. Did the mechanic do something
wrong, or is this noise unrelated to the
quality of work done.

I need to know if I should take it back and ask them to fix it.

Also, can you tell me what the timing belt tensioner is? Is it a separate
part that will have to ve replaced, or is it just that
the timing belt tension needs to be adjusted?

Thank you so much

Godfrey
