Hi All,
Worked on getting the charcoal canister installed last night and when I finished and started the car, I heard this clicking noise that for some reason stood out to me. I did some research and it seemed it could be three things, a leak in the exhaust, a valve issue, or a rod issue. Pulled each of the spark plug wires individually while the engine was on (only minor shocks) and the click didn't go away. I also noticed that the click lessened once the car warmed up. I then reached out to AutoAtlanta and spoke with George, he confirmed the spark plug wire pull while running was a good way to troubleshoot a valve issue. The click did seem to lessen when I pulled the passenger side wires but was still there. George also said that an exhaust leak noise would go away when I revved the engine. In my case the click increases when I rev, though seems to be less. I plan to drain the oil and check if any thing is in the screen, which would indicate an issue with the rod. Lastly, I pulled a video of me starting the car cold and driving up and down my street from two years ago and the click is there. Also, no mechanic I have had it too has mentioned anything sounding off. So, my question is, is it a click or just a normal engine sound? Any advice on how to diagnose further? Should I be worried? Thanks for all your help! |

Hey All,
I drained the oil, checked the screen, and cut open my oil filter. Didn't see anything of concern. But....when I was pouring the old oil into my collection bucket, I saw flakes of metal in the bottom. Guess I am throwing a rod bearing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |
