    Tick/knock after harmonic balancer replacement

    Would the alternator be causing the random stalls also? Fuel filter was changed with the pump. Cheers fellas

    Tick/knock after harmonic balancer replacement

    little update. got the car started and idling, the tick had pretty much disappeared. Took it for a bit of a test drive as all seemed well. Took it up a hill and it chugged and almost stalled... went up another and it completely cut out and wouldn't start again. Battery is totally drained...

    Tick/knock after harmonic balancer replacement

    Unfortunately my obd2 socket is rooted. After chatting with a mate who was a mechanic, we have broken it down to the fuel pump going again, he gave me a few things to check out along side. Thanks a lot for the help. Hopefully the issue will be resolved asap

    Tensioner still feels tight. Would it still be tight if it was fucked out?

    Tick/knock after harmonic balancer replacement

    After trying these 2 things, wd40 seemed to lessen the sound. However my original issue of the car randomly stalling is still there. So I am guessing the issue wasn't the CAS as suspecting. Possibly a fueling issue? Could that possibly explain the loud tick sound?

    Tick/knock after harmonic balancer replacement

    Have a 98 vt v6. Just changed the crank sensor, can sensor and harmonic balancer. Since doing so, I now have a knock or ticking coming from the area. I was thinking it could maybe be the tensioner pulley. Anyone had a similar experience before I go pulling it apart again? Thanks
