Wierd noise coming from passenger side.

Sonics2042 · 05-20-2002, 10:53 PM

At idle, every few minutes (like 5 or so) I will here a 'tumbling' noise coming from the passenger side. I have noticed this after my last project (intake manifolds, cam, and headers).

At first I didn't think it was coming from my car. It kind of sounds like if you drop a rock down a drain-pipe.

Also, my car has been dying at low RPMs...IE sometimes if I turn off the car for a few minutes, start it, and then put it into reverse or something it will cut out. Is this something that has to do with the cam I have (not AOD friendly)?? I heard getting a fuel-pressure regulator or bigger injectors might help.

Thanks,
DoranW

Hey man, i'm not exactly sure what kind of noise your talking about, but it may be your smog pipe if you still have it on your car. After I put the B cam in my 95 whenever the engine would rock due to the cam it would cause the metal smog pipe that runs from the rubber hoses to the exhaust to smack up against something and it made a noise similar to a rock tumbling. After I took it off it quit making that awful noise. So you may want to try that if you still have the smog stuff it may fix it. Good luck man.
