sound from engine

chevy_killer · February 18th, 2008, 09:25 PM

i have a sound coming from my engine bay and i do not know what it is....i just got finished changing my exhaust manifold gaskets and i made sure everything was tight and i fired it up and the sound was still there....i wish i could get a sound clip but its dark and rainy....but the sound sounds like an exhaust leak...but it only comes up when i give it gas other than that its not there???? does anyone have any idea what it is

I have that same noise! It sounds like a ticking or an exhaust leak, right? Only when you give it gas, not when your off the pedal moving or stopped, right?

I hear it under light and heavy loads. Whenever I press the gas... moving or not.

The person I bought my Mustang from said he had the "ticking" checked out by a ford dealership, and they said there was nothing wrong?!?!?!

i dont know but it pissed me off when i spent my whole day changing those f***ing gaskets and the noise was still there...i just want to what it is so i can fix it or if thats what it suposed to sound like????

whitemustang02 · February 18th, 2008, 09:44 PM

it may be a very small leak that is only audible under acceleration, did you tighten the manifolds down to factory specs.

That's what I thought, but then I keep thinking it's valves or something internal. I think I'm over thinking it, but it's odd cause it's only when I press the gas pedal. So why not when I'm doing 50MPH down the road???

I'm gonna go and get an audio clip of mine... atleast I'm going to try and get one.

Damn, I took a little video, but you can't hear it... I'm using improper equipment. The record function on my digital camera

I'll grab my buddies video camera tomorrow, and post a sound clip. When I play the video back, it just breaks-up.
