I'm taking the max in to get a new clutch in a few days but wanted to get some opinions on this sound so I don't get a clutch job and then find out my engine is about to explode and I wasted money on a clutch.

The sound is a thumping sound when the engine is cold on startup. I can feel it through the brake pedal. It's not an even consistent thumping but more like thump thump...thump...thump thump thump. I only hear/feel it in the brake pedal at idle. If I raise the RPMs I don't feel it or hear it. When the engine warms up I don't feel or hear it either.

It's not my VTC's (you don't feel those anyways), mine already clack, I know what that is.

Could it be a misfire? I don't know what that sounds like. My check engine light isn't on or anything. What should I do? Change the plugs and wires? Any ideas?

 

Sounds like a misfire to me. I get it occasionally - can't say I really feel it through the brake pedal though.

 

I seem to be getting the same thing, i wouldnt worry about it

 

you can check the end of your plug wires....sometimes when they crack, a small amount of air gets in and gets gully with the spark, causing a thump or bog....worth checking into

 

He has the VE30DE engine= coil on plug design=no plug wires.
