I drive a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and my engine has been knocking for the past few months. I've tried filling it up with the highest octane gas, but the knocking has recently returned. The knocking is not a ticking sound, but a higher pitched, pinging sound. The car has 199K miles on it, and is in fairly good condition.
Due to its age and its mileage, my Jeep is only worth about 2,000 dollars. Therefore, it isn't worth sending it to a dealer, having it repaired, and having to pay an expensive bill. I've tried changing the oil as well, but the engine still sporadically knocks, especially when the car is accelerating. Should I continue to drive the car regardless of the engine knocking, or is it time to buy a new car?
