  1. B)--> QUOTE(dave.b @ Nov 3 2006, 02:15 AM) ← Couldn't find this anywhere so I hope I am not reposting... I bought an 02 IS about 3 weeks ago w/ 58k on it. Absolutely love it, but that's another story. Anyway, I have noticed an odd sound on acceleration. Its pretty hard to describe but it sounds kind of like a warble? Is that a word? It sounds like a pigeon is in my engine bay revving its little voice with the rpm's. The sound is only noticable with the stereo off, so its not very loud. Any ideas? Maybe something resonating in the engine compartment? Exhaust noise I'm just not accustomed to in the IS? Thx Ken, Bart, thanks for your replies. If I ever come up with anything I'l let you know! Dave
  2. I did find what appears to be a disconnected vaccum line. There is a small metal line protruding about 4 in. from right front side of the engine in the vacinity of the timing cover. Looks like it should have a vaccum line on it but there's not one ther. I really haven't had time to investigate it, but I should like to fix it if there's supposed to be on there. Bear in mind I mean "right front" while seated in the car. Can someone tel me what this is? thx Thanks Ken! I'll check that too. Dave
  3. Mine rumbles a bit. I just bought the car and havn't used the AC much since its cool here now. Climate control kicks it on occasionally and I just turn it off again. So far it doesn't seem louder than AC noise I've had in any other vehicle...it IS a Lexus however...should it really make any noise at all? :)
