Re: 86 Iroc 305 Knocking Noise?? Not sure what it is? Please Help!!

You might have to do a little research, but I remember hearing that pouring some water down the intake at around WOT will clean it out. I could be very wrong though so make sure you look into it.

Re: Ignition Starting Problem

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt there some sort of thin shaft that mechanically moves inside the steering column when the key is turned to "start"?
