Guest JER2911 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 What the? Is this what "knocking" sounds like?? It seems to do this quite a bit lately...I'm wondering if I have my plugs gapped wrong or what the deal is. thanks! Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CROSSTBOLT Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Check the heat shields around the cat converters & pipes. Your computer should eliminate any knocks if the knock sensor is working. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pat1234 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I posted yester on a problem similar....... here is what I posted as it could be the same problem....still trying to find the problem...... When in neutral and I slowly give it some gas I eventually get a clattering noise like the dreaded piston slap but much louder. If also does it when I floor it from a stopped position. It also does it on the highway usually starting at 90 km/h at a certain rpm.... when it makes the noise and I let go on the gas pedal it stop. I listened to it under the hood when someone slowly gave it some gas and it seems to come from the top of the engine... almost like a clicking/slaping sound. The car run fine, except for the noise! I have a 97 legacy gt with 97,000 KM Thanks Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JER2911 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I'm not to worried about it, I just thought that maybe it was the engine knocking, and that possibly the knock sensor wasn't doing it's job? I don't think it's piston slapping though, doesn't sound like it. I'm not getting any "check engine" lights so I don't know. Thanks for the help!
