Sounds like marbles in my engine...

...must be hidden under intake. In VGE that 3/4" hose starts from leftmost rear corner. Gotta wait until VE people wake up... try FSM as/when it comes online.
edit: its at farthest leftmost corner. FSM page EF-337

I did more looking and found an L shaped fitting coming out of the backside of the intake manifold. This elbow is located between the EGR valve and another elbow that has a hose connected to it that goes to the brake booster.
While looking at thiese items, I noticed the vaccuum hose leading to the EGR valve was cracked, so I pared back the hose a little and reapplied the hose. This seems to have cured my Idling problem.
Now if the incesant tapping would stop and the voices would go away I would be OK!

• 1st, get an FSM (Factory Service Manual)
• Replace timing belt, tensioner, and water pump
• Replace spark plugs, cap and rotor
• Inspect plug wires and replace if bad—or just replace them
• Replace all filters to include fuel filter
• Do the Seafoam treatment a couple of times to clean engine
• Check resistance of fuel injectors
• Drain, flush and properly refill coolant
• Flush brake and clutch fluid
• Look into replacing both the clutch master and slave cylinders (total cost of parts is < $50.00)
• Replace PCV Valve
• Replace all vacuum hoses
• Clean throttle body.
• Inspect upper and lower ball joints
• Inspect CV boots along with steering bellow boots
• Inspect all bushings in the front and rear suspension

Indeed. I am definately going to need that list when i pick up my car tomorrow. The car has a new engine (w/ 69k mi. on it), and it has 135k on the body. I was getting horrible mileage with the previous engine (15-17mpg average), so i hope that going off of that list would help me out a bit.
