I win for loudest ticking noise. [video]
 

I don't know if this is related to my other thread regarding power problems. This started much earlier, so I think they're separate issues.

Anyways, I win this battle.

Video explanation, as it is dark - I'm inside the car after a short 2 minute warm-up. Then I hold the phone to the wheel well, the front bumper, and then I pop the hood for the whole experience.

sounds like one of the rotor is having a bit of problem.
change sparkplugs and coils first?

do you have after market pulleys?? one cold be loose

did you put a diesel in your 8?

sounds like some pumping noise and some ticking noise - neither of which you should hear - that can't be good and prop won't end well... take it to a dealer.

This is after replacing the plugs, but it still has the original coils. No aftermarket engine mods at all.

how many miles on your coils? they can easily fail but are simple to change.

no sound before replaced the plugs?
did you torque the plugs down correctly?

sounds like you are premixing with sand

Until it sounds like this you are fine

/\ that actually sound cool

Yea, i drove it for a bit running on only one rotor and everyone thought it had like a cammed V8 in it...

I actually lol'ed. That's insane.

I mean it continued after replacing the plugs. I still have the original coils in it, 56k miles. :D

change your coils yesterday

check your valve clearance... :cwm27:

mine is making the same nosie did you find out what it was?

@ ferrocene

The good news is, your car is already paid off! :)

lol yeah its paid.. time to finance again, thats how they get you:mad:

That ticking sounds like your SSV actuator is not working properly. Had the same sound coming from mine last summer...ended up being a bad SSV actuator, replaced and the sound went away. If it's not that make sure all your plug wires are connected fully, could be a plug wire arcing.

Oh and my ticking was way louder than yours. :)

I agree with the last post check the components of your ssv actuator which you can manually operate while the car is running, on the auto anyway. It makes the car "sound like a diesel" if it rattles. My car has exact sound and when I hold it or manually operate it, it stops.

Hope this helps.
