View Full Version : engine click... Ex95XLT 05-13-2002, 10:38 PM dunno how many of u know this but i locked up my engine in water a while ago and finally got it back. the place installed a used engine with less miles than my old one. think is it clicks whenever i step on the throttle. anyone know what this is? if so please help Ex95XLT 05-15-2002, 04:18 PM dam...no one knows? Alec 05-15-2002, 04:20 PM clicks, ticks, knocks? Does it click repeatedly? Does the frequency increase with RPMs? Also, does it matter what gear you're in, speed, rpm under load? Just saying it clicks doesn't tell us much of anything, thanks! Ex95XLT 05-15-2002, 04:30 PM well its when im in any gear. and while i am accelrating. its a click sound. its a repeating click. it increases with rpms. speed and rpm dont matter. Jason_25 05-15-2002, 04:42 PM Can you hear it outside the truck? Is it any worse when the engine is cold? SteveVB 05-15-2002, 04:44 PM could be... exhaust leak, although they are usually described as a tic. pushrod/rocker arm wear lifters injectors click also use a screwdriver or steth-scope to pin point the noise. Good Luck Ex95XLT 05-15-2002, 10:29 PM it sounds like a tic...maybe a click...whats the differance? ill try and find out whats making the noise. and yes i can hear it outside the truck...sounds like its coming from left side of engine. and it hasnt really been cold here at all so i dont know. Jason_25 05-15-2002, 10:31 PM No I meant when the engine is cold (i.e. at startup). If so, it would lead me to beleive it's a valvetrain problem. Ex95XLT 05-15-2002, 10:53 PM oh, no its not louder. its same volume at start and end. just when i press throttle down. no click on idle. Jason_25 05-15-2002, 10:55 PM Well in that case I'm thinking it's the EGR valve. I beleive the Haynes manual describes the test procedure for it. |
