EPIX INC Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 okay check your belt and make sure its not ripped in any places, then remove the plastic covers that go over the dist caps and watch the belt as it turns while the car is running. or just rotate the motor by hand and inspect the belt. i am reffering to the timing belt. if u see nothing that could be causing that, then take a stethoscope and track down the location of the sound while the car is running. that will allow u to narrow it down. to me it sounds like u might have something caught up in the crankcase or in the torque converter. either of which could cause serious issues if left untreated.
