Thread: my engines knocks and then sometimes it doesnt!!!

i got a 99 gtp i just bought this car and i love it, bu it started knocking. it doesn do it right away then gets warm and does it, but sometimes if i shut itt off and go into a store or something when i turn it back on it doesnt knock for a lil bit. sounds like its coming from the engine. i took off the supercharger belt and it still made that noise. i am so confused and pissed that my engine might be screwed after i only put 500 miles on it. it doesnt seem to have any lag in performance. this car moves no stuttering when i get on it it runs awesome just that knocking. any ideals??? its completly stock. just changed the oil, didnt help.

How many miles?

200k. and the knocking seems to go away awfter about 2300 rpm or maybe i just cant hear it.

so your from charles city? i live like 25 mins from there. small world. so this may be a dumb question but how do i check it. the info center thing on my car is broke and this is my first small engine sports car. and i thought my 5.0 was fast. lol!!

Get an oil pressure gauge. They are cheap.

so i started it to make a video and it wouldnt do any thing so i let it run for about 5 min and got this. also i am pretty sure im getting oil to the top of the engine cuz there was oil leaking out the oil filler tube but i fixed that. also when i put it in drive it quiets down and theres no loss in power it moves along great. theres no lights on the dash. this sucks i bought this car 528 miles ago with the last of my money after i blew the engine on my familys only car. i just changed the oil after i bought it cuz it had a small knocking to it, put in 10-30 and a quart of lucas.
