What a shitty iphone video (tall screen).

Anyway with better sound close to the motor and away from the wind it'll be easier to tell. Sounds like the belt is too tight.

I couldn't hear anything other than an engine and wind noise. What are we listening for?

[chessx]

yeah had 45mph wind today sorry about that, and the video quality was terrible dont know why i have a galaxy note 2 , any way car sounds like harley now no idea what happens ill make another video in the morning as the wind is still bad, you said the belt could be to tight perhaps?

[chessx]

didnt realize video was set to mms mode next video will be hd lol

[wetamup2k3g]

So the loud tone of the engine is what's different? Exhaust leak maybe? How's driving it?

[chessx]

driving it seems the same, but just sounds like a motor cycle now, gimme 5 mins making the vid now

[chessx]

Holy crap your starter gets stuck!!!!

Hopefully your flywheel is still good.

[chessx]

well the starting thing i think was more my brother starting the car he doesnt know what the hell hes doing , and he was the only one around to do it

[wetamup2k3g]

My goodness, was he really holding the key in that long? Anyway, get under there and check your flex pipe section, it's probably got a leak if you think it's coming from behind the engine. That's the only thing I can think of.

[chessx]

yeah lol he was, he does it everytime, gotta make a quick stop to get some hydro fluid for the jack in the morn and ill report back

[chessx]

alright so i got under there at and the flex pipe looks ok the cat converter is blown to hell, not even connected on one side, rusted through and so is some of the pipe afterwards, guy at the exhaust shop said 260 for a cat and piping , should i?

[polishmafia]

$260 for a cat and pipes? Go for it, just make sure you have an actual cat after the repair.

Was the first 30 seconds of the video your brother holding the key in the start position?? Has he ever started a car before??

[chessx]

LOL! yes a few times hes started one, funny thing is i asked him just now why he held it, he says i thought it would turn off if i let it go. i replied but you did it before, he said i know and walked away, so i might chalk it up to hilariously stupid or sabotage, and ill get the cat done in the morn thanks guys! report back then

[wetamup2k3g]

Some cars do use the ignition switch as a momentary trigger, I know most recent Fords you can hang on the key all day, once the engine starts the starter disengages (I know this first hand). Nowadays it's all keyless so they're all computer controlled. Ours is still good ol' fashioned hard wired, if you hang, it'll hang.

ahh i see, got it all done today took about half an hour, , now its back to smooth driving thankfully
