Post possible problems

look for vaccum leak..also ive seen engines sometime generate their own noise some are harmonic some are mechanical noises...if it just started then yes look for a problem for sure...if its been doing it for ever then id look away...

PLEASE Let us know some Basic Info.


What year? What model? Is it new? How long have you had the car? Did the noise just start, or has it been doing this for ever?

More importantly: do you have the stock intake, or something else?

Does the problem happen: at idle, under full accel., cruising, all of the above, etc.

Seriously, this could be ANYTHING from a vacuum line loose to a noisy alternator bearing.


We are not by your side looking over your shoulder. We aren't (idiot) savants. But, a lot of people here are willing to help, if you let us.

Please... Post all of the information that could possibly be related.

/rant.
