Turn speakers on and listen... this was from my engine this morning.

Is that normal?

if not ..what could it be?

VIDEO OF SOUND

....tack.....tack....tack....

 

wtf you sure nothing is rubbing against something? check your oil

 

i changed the oil 400 miles ago only

 

alarm clock is in the engine..... I DONO lol

 

I think that's either the IAC or EVAP system cycling. I wouldnt worry about it.

Does the noise vary with engine speed?

 

how come that engine doesnt sound like a VQ at all

 

didnt check i pulled the codes i got nothing 3 weeks ago

 

Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


nope couldn't help you w/that one; a sound i have never heard in an engine be4

 

Wow you kinda sound like a deisel. It does sound like its comming fromt he EGR area.

 

your valves are tapping check to make sure the oil is still in your car and that you have coolant in the radiator and resevoir

 

man that tick is slower then my valve tap. my valves tap alot quicker then that taping sound, so i personal do not think its that.


sorry for asking a question in your thread but is there any way of getting red of vavle tap wit hout getting a new engine head or getting it rebuilt. A thicker oil maybe ??

 

its a VQ (GUARANTEED) its a digital cam microphone so please have mercy.

i have no oil problems nor coolant.

my car is idling and ppl think its off.

i took the video with camera under the hood close to the source of the tick that's why it sounds like diesel. wiseass....lol

i dunno if i should be concern or not

 

bump? ^^^^

 

can some one post a video of normal sound from engine

 

Yes I would like to hear what a "normal unmodded" engine should sound like... wanna compare it w/ mine... :P

 

Sounds to me like the exhaust just heating up and expanding....the slow tick-tick-tick.
The clattering just sounds like the injectors to me....the microphone tends to amplify the sound...
