Help with engine noise on 2004 Maxima SE 6spd
I have noticing a noise with my 2004 Maxima that comes and goes, and I have even brought it in for service and the Nissan "expert" technicians could not find out what was wrong and did not even notice the noise, so I thought Id see if any one here could help me.
I have been hearing 2 noises, but both occur at the same time essentially.
The noises occur upon acceleration, most notably in 1st and 2nd gear. I start to accelerate, and then the noise kicks in, but goes away if I push to higher RPM. One noise sounds like a scretching sound, the other like a vibration. They come and go, but are most notable midday.
Can you help???

A vibrating noise has also been associated with loose fasteners for the trim piece inside the engine bay over the front grill/intake area. Usually when you change to an aftermarket grill and break one or two of the 4 fasteners that hold it on it causes crazy amounts of noise as you get over 40-50mph.

BTW, I was in Santa Cruz this past October.. I really love it there (it probably doesn't help that I was born there too...).

But, try going to a park or a non-busy street and park next to another car or a wall and rev the engine up to abour 3 or 3.5K RPM, and see if you get a clicking sound at around 2K or 2.2K RPM. If you do, I'd bet that this is your problem (took my tech just a few minutes to fix).
