Well to make a long story short started hearing a faint tick that has progressively gotten worse over the past few months. Well I took the car to a shop that told me that the problem is most likely a bad timing guide. He used a stethascope and said it sounded like it was coming from the front of the motor. He than started to unplug each injector one by one to see if the noise would go away. Well it didnt and he than explained to me that if it was a rod knock that the noise would have gone away.

Im not trying to get rich off of this and feel like im letting the car go next to nothing. Im about to head back up to school at UF and I just cant take the time to fix it and need to cut my losses. Im asking $4200 for the car with everything in the car.
