Done a oil change today with a better quality oil so gonna see how that goes, doing screwdriver on injectors they sound quite loud but not knowing what they should sound like I don't know if that's normal,

Had a problem with car starting today and found my dizzy cap centre pin is burned out could that be a prob with noisy engin??
