it sounds normal (chugga chugga) it sounds to me like its not firing but i am not for sure but no whining for sure.
Replacing blown fuses won't cure a engine knock problem or other noise. If it threw the timing belt the engine may as well be considered junk, and thereby replaced. Not necessarily that it can't be repaired, it is just more expensive than finding a decent used engine with half the mileage for less than replacing the timing belt in his engine.
ok i am going shortly to go see if i can figure something out on it that is something i haven't thought to try thanks and how do i check timming belt i know where it is and how to get to it but not what to look for if its bad? only if its broke.
i hope thats not the case the car lot can take it back if so, lol.
Change the coilpacks, plug wires and spark plugs. That should restore the Johnny 8G.
yeah i went to check it out today and 2 out of 4 plugs fired. the two that did was on the same coil...
not yet i don't have the money to get every thing today tomorrow i am going to borrow the money from my sister in law tomorrow so i can give it a try. i hope this fixes it.
definatly will i hope this is the problem it will kill me to not be able to drive it, i am already having withdraws, lol.

so i did the coils and nothing i came to the conclusion that there is not any power coming to the coil on my passenger side any ideas there is power to the other, but it is not starting still, so i have ruled out the coils wires and plugs, what next? now its frustrating me to not know

try switching the coils around and see if the misfired cylinder will jump, as well. for that, reset the ecu, switch coils, drive so the CEL comes on again and read the new code.
i did switch coils with new ones i tried resetting ecu still not firing on the passenger side coil no matter how i swapped them around i am at a loss here i am having to borrow a family members car for work, before i got that it was a bike i haven't rode a bike in years.
