i just brought my car back out, and when i start the car, there is clicking noise from from near the belt at idle. is been a whole winter, i didn't remember if i had this before. is this normal? or anyone have any idea what that clicking noise is?

hope you can help me out, the car drives find, just the ignoring click noise at idle

 

hmm clicking isn't very descriptive, need a video

Could be the belt tensioner (which is known to make a ticking noise) but it could just be the injectors as they tick at idle.

 

thanks, i'll try to get a video up tomorrow!

 

I got the same problem IDK honestly if it is a problem or not, but car drives AMAZING. I am building soon, but wanna know if the motor is ok still. Not stealing post just wanted u to know ur not alone.

**Side not what A/F are you or anybody running when on normal throttle such as sixth gear 3K RPM, I wanna know if I am in normal range or if the range is not important until WOT** Sorry tell me to remove side note if it takes away from original post.

I have the same issue, it is not the timing chain tentioner or the cam gears, the car has been in the shop for a week with no answers. Mine only occurs well into operating temps (160+ water temp for 10 minutes or more. does this sound similar to your problem. I hope i get an answer soon and maybe solve your problem too. good luck.

 

I think I have the same sound too

 

It could be you need a valve ajustment...??

 

shop did another valve job for me (second in 4k miles) to see if that would solve it...no luck for me

 

Are you running crank vents?

If so, it's just the suction causing the rubber off the tips of the sparkplug wires in the cylinder head to make a bobble noise.

 

I have crank vents.

However that doesn
