- 1994 Eddie Bauer
A recent development with my 193K miles 94 Eddie Bauer is an irregular ticking sound loudest between engine and firewall that sounds identical to an engine knock (ping or pre-ignition or detonation or dieseling) and is observable at idle and highway speeds. It increases sometimes when accelerating however it is irregular and sometimes non-existent. It also sounds like a pebble inside a hub cap and also like a wire coat hanger hanging down, bouncing on the highway.
My mechanic went around with his stethoscope and came up with nothing definite. I specifically asked him to check the catalytic converter and he ruled that out, but I'm still suspecting it. He is a good mechanic so it's likely something else.
Any ideas?
