vande97 · 07-19-2001, 11:49 AM

ok,My car has almost like a tick to it, it is kind of weird to explane but it does not sound like it is coming from the top end of the motor but from the bottom! i only really hear it when i am below 2000 rpm. It is really getting anyoning tho. the car does not feel down on power. could soemthing in the bottom end of the motor be causing this noise????? I am stumped? and advice would help alot thanks!!!

thanks for the replies! I have screwed with the timing before i think it is set at like 19 it was awhile ago tho that i set it, so do you think i should back it off a little?

This probably is not your problem, but I resently put a fluidampener on my car and the added diameter of the fluidampener was hiting my water pump. It made a tapping noise that freaked me out at first untill I saw what was happening.
