Alright so I've spent countless hours online trying to find out what might be wrong with my car and i have found COUNTLESS answers to my problem so i have no idea what to do.
Answers; Bad oil contorl rings
leak from head gasket
leak from a vacuum hose of some sort.
gunk in your engine
carbon deposits
warpped or scarred cylinder wall
My problem: I get a zizzing kinda noise from my engine. Here's some stuff that will help you help me solve my problem.
My car is a 2000 toyota corolla CE all stock except for the badass stereo setup i have in it. ( and no the sound is not coming from my stereo i'm not an idiot.)
I clean my MAF about every 10K miles which helps with the sound quite a bit.
I replaced my spark plugs with bosch platinum +4's and it didn't make the sound better but it didn't make it sound worse either.
It gets worse between oil changes.
I burn oil between oil changes at a rate of about 2-4 quarts in between changes.
I change my oil around 3K-5K miles.
The less oil in my car the worse the noise.
The noise is louder at higher rpms. (can't say exactly how many rpms considering a don't have a tacometer)
and the worse part of all, yes i do believe i feel a loss in power =[
so any help would be very appreciative!! thanks
I'm also willing to try some low cost, low skill options that will benefit my car even if it doesn't make the noise better but has the chance to.
I am currently gonna go through and try the DIY's that fish wrote up. https://www.corolland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/22499-diy-info-some-uncommon-maintenance-items/page__p__159456entry159456
