Hey everyone. I am hoping to find some kind of definite(hopefully) answer on what is going on with my X. When I am in neutral or park and I rev the engine everything sounds fine. When I am on the highway or going uphill and I try to "hammer down on it" to accelerate I hear this rattling sound. It sounds like it is coming from the front passenger side(?) under the hood. It sounds like a sewing machine or someone doing a drum roll with a couple of ball peen hammers. If I get up to speed gradually I don't hear it. If I accelerate to pass I hear it.
I put new Bosch platinum plugs with the factory preset gap and new Bosch plugs wires in.....still hear the rattle. I put Seafoam in the gas tank thinking MAYBE it might help....still hear the rattle. Haven't cleaned the MAF sensor yet and haven't changed the fuel filter because I don't know where to get the tool to loose the demon clips.
My X has almost 184,000 miles on it and I think I am the 3rd(?) owner. I know the previous owner took pretty good care of it because I have the paperwork but he never said anything about the transmission giving him trouble. The interior dome lights stay on though so I pulled the bulbs. Anyone know what's the fix to that one?
I think I got a pretty good deal for $500 and really want to keep this X for a long time. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
