I've had my 91 ford ranger for 2 yrs now and now when i accelerate i here a noise coming from the motor that sounds like something nocking.

All i want to know is how can you fix it?

And do i have to tear the whole motor apart?

the motor is 2.3l with 8 sparkplugs

Please Help!!

 

Calm down , it may not be as bad as you think.
Does it only "knock" when the engine is under load ?
It could be just "pinging" ,that's when the fuel/air mix in the cylinder ignites before the spark plug fires.
Search the forums for "Seafoam" and run a can through the system.

 

or it could be a lifter tap or a bunch of things can you get a video of it?

 

if you have a rod knocking the the bottom end may need some work

 

well it gets real bad when i drive up a hill and also when i shift gears

 

Could also be a blown exaust manifold gasket.
Impossible to tell without hearing it.

 

yeah dude if you could get us a video are sound clip it would help us out a lot to help ya with your problem
