Knocking?

External Since: Jun 04, 2007 Posts: 1

I own a 1990 Isuzu Amigo xs with the fuel injected 4cyl (2.6L I think) It sat
for about 8 months prior to my buying it. I was driving to work on the
interstate and noticed it vibrating violently. I took the first exit and
noticed the knocking but its only when I accelerate, I let off the gas and
there is nothing only other thing I noticed Is a HUGE lack of power. what is
wrong with my truck? Timing, Flat spot on the cam, Clogged injector?

Was there gas in the tank the whole time it sat? You may need to clean the
fuel system to clear this up. A gas tank additive may help, but taking
things apart and using a little carberator cleaner might be the best option.
