Hey guys, I hear that when a vtc goes the engine starts to click on acceleration. is this true.what can i do .If so how extensive of a job would this be to fix.

And when i accelerate from a dead stop i hear a creaking sound in the drivers side. ive got under and checked the car and still cant find it. had warspeed y pipe installed but i checked it and no movement. and like i said its under the drivers side from a dead stop. anybody guess?

 

you have a GXE do no VTCs for you.

 

i really dont know what it is. But it really clicks when accelerating. i dont know what it could be.

 

I had a post that asked about a clicking that seemed to be coming from the trans on the driver side. I was told it may be the input shaft bearing. It was only at slower speeds and under load(ie accelerating). I didn't get any help after that. Good luck.

 

my engine clicks after I turn the car off for some reason. It clicks like crazy for several minutes, then stops.

 

that is most probably the metal cooling down that you hear.

 

hmmm, that's what my dad was saying, thanks for the confirmation

 

I didnt want to start a new thread so...
but i have a noise in my max too

sound is comeing from center/right side, where the windsheild meets the dash.
i first thought it might be the "ventscreen" right behind where the hood and windshild meet, and i did find a broken clip and i replaced it, but sure enough that wasnt it
it also is not any the wiper fluid hose clips.

it might be on the inner side of the firewall, and if so, how would i go about ripping that **** open?
must i get to it via the headunit opening?

please help me

What kind of noise? Describe it.

 

oops haha
wow i was at school when i posted that one

okay its a soft, rattleing noise, but fast like a buzz kinda
its not loud, but its noticable(and very annoying since my HU isnt installed yet)
it doesnt sound metallic either

if im on completly PERFECT pavement, then its stops, but coming across that in MA is unheard of...

and it just started, ohh like a week and a 1/2 ago.

i was poking aroud under the glove box today (after i installed my silverstar HLs)
and i found a tapping screw that loosend itself and the washer looked as though he was the noisemaker....so i tightend that sucker up
took her for a spin
low and behold
bbzzzzzz
it starts vibrating again

 

Call me crazy, but have you checked for pebbles in your tires?

 

Internetautomar you are crazy!!! {you said to call you crazy}

 

Yep, probably the cat cooling down, mine's just the same.

 

no no no, its not metal cooling down, ahaha i know what that sounds like
i work at a garage hah

it def not my cat, or any part of the exhaust syst.

and i dont think its the tires, becuase theyre new and i just got them rebalanced.

its coming from above the glove box, near the firewall.

 

Just turn up your stereo man

 

But if its the greenie protected squirrel building its nest? Man, u end in jail... or at least into swe den. Depends on the music.

 

what??
