Knocking Coming From Engine

ajnightcryer3 · November 13th, 2007, 12:54 AM

Does anyone else have a problem with knocking comming from the engine when you start your mustang? I bought a 2002 V6 new with only 4 miles on it in Feb 0f 02. From the get go it had a knock that quieted down after it ran for a while. Back in Dec of this last year I totaled it.

I now have a 2004 V6 with that same problem... Do all Mustangs have that some noise?? A Ford dealer told me they all did. I don't believe him. I anyone else has that problem please let me know. THANKS ALOT

Hows your oil lookin?

ajnightcryer3 · November 13th, 2007, 01:17 AM

on the 2002 yes i did have an exaust leak got it fixed, the noise was only softer. on 2004 had it checked no leaks

ajnightcryer3 · November 13th, 2007, 01:18 AM

oil great, no leaks there either.

Stang6899 · November 13th, 2007, 01:22 AM

it is a knock tho right? not a ticking?

dark-samurai2 · November 13th, 2007, 06:30 AM

befor i even suggest something let me ask you some questions does it sound like some one is knocking on a door or tapping on a piece of metal, or does it sound like some one is clicking a pen really fast?

ajnightcryer3 · November 13th, 2007, 06:34 PM

guess it is more of a ticking sound. kinda sounds like a loose lifter, but i thought that they were not adjustable. at least the ford house in burk said they were not.

ricerraper33 · November 13th, 2007, 07:44 PM

i had the same prob ever since i bought my car used it was a ticking noise and it was the part on the headerthat bolted onto the manifold that metal that held it on was cracked dunno if this is common but thats what my ticking noise was?? hope this helps ya man

you have a tuner or play with your timing any? Might be spark knock.

dark-samurai2 · November 14th, 2007, 05:23 AM

no i dont think its spark knock. that would a louder than a small knock. it more along the lines of an exhaust leak or a loose spark plug. loose accesory mount, loose or worn rocker arm pedestal, mechanical fuel pump or worn cam shaft. but still its probably a spark plug being loose or exhaust leak.

mine has the same problem and it is an 03 mustang since i got the car when you first start it, it starts knocking but it stops after like half a min i have been told that they all do it to and i thought it was a lifter but its not cause there not adjustable and i have brand new exhaust ran so i know its not exhaust leak got the oil changed and best filter i could put on it but still dose it so i have no clue wat it could be but sure would like to know??????

If you have a brand new exhaust it could very well be an exhasut leaking at one of the welds or the connections

03stang · November 14th, 2007, 10:28 PM

no because it done it when i got the car and it had a stock exhaust then when i stuck the new exhaust on it, it kept doing it and if it was a exhaust leak it would do it all the time not just as soon as i start it and its a thump noise not a air noise????

itschristorres8 · November 14th, 2007, 11:03 PM

how fast is this knocking?

GreenFaleen · November 14th, 2007, 11:09 PM

is it only when your turning and is it a loud thunk or like a pen clicking and is it constant or does it nevver stop and if it does stop when does it do it

ajnightcryer3 · November 15th, 2007, 09:49 AM

the noise is at all times, clicking. after a min or so it calms down but is still noticable...
