I just bought an automatic 1993 honda accord and it seemed fine when I test drove it but now the engine is knocking and makes a high pitched noise when accelerating sometimes. the guy said he replaced the valve cover and alternater. It was fine until I tested some hills and ever since that, the acceleration sounds high pitched while it shifts and reaches about 3 or more rpms. when I got out of the car it made some faint knocking noises while running that were not there before. how bad did he screw me?
