Motor making knocking sound at start up and while running. also sputters a little and is giving off a small squeak while knocking. accelerating whenever driving or start up
Henry, first need to determine if it's the actual engine that is knocking. Other accessories (water pump, steering pump, etc) could cause a knock. If the ECM knock sensor picks up a knock, regardless of where it originated from, will start to make timing and fuel adjustments which may cause it to hesitate or "sputter". You can take off the drive belt and start the engine. This will be the tale. If you hear the knocking, it's obviously in the engine and could be as bad as crank bearings or even the torque converter. Have you had any work done recently? If there is no knocking when the engine is running without the serpentine belt, you should now be able to narrow down the bad component by rotating each drive pulley until you find the damage..
SOURCE: It makes a squeaking noise when I turn the wheel
Sounds like you might need ball joints. Lift the vehicle up and turn the wheels by hand to check for the squeeking. The best thing to do is if you have another person listen while you turn the wheel, that's even better.
SOURCE: acceleration problem
possibly camshaft position sensor in the distributor, or weak fuel fump starts acting up when warm, or throttle position sensor. heat has a effect on sensors and electrical components in some weird and hard to find ways.
