knock on startup
i'm not sure if n e one has had the same problem but i have a strange knock rite at startup, for about 1-1.5 sec and then goes away and no problems i rn mobile 1 and mobile 1 oil filter change the oil atleast every 3000 if not more and just wondering wtf
i was also reading the hard starting problems some of you guys were having and i noticed if my car does'nt start right away if i turn the key off and let it set bout 5-10 sec it usually starts right up and no problem, sure its not the solution, being the tranny swap's and all just putting my 2 n
thanx

That noise is your timing chain tensioner, the chain rattles before it gets oil pressure and takes the slack out of the chain. Quite normal as cars get up there in mileage. 2 of my 3 maximas have done it.
