So here's the deal today I decided to clean the crappy out of my motor and re grounded a couple of wires replaced the heater hose I had that bypasses my heater control valve also.
Well when i went to start the car (hood open) and heard what sounded like rod knock.
I remembered that rod knock shows up around 2,000rpm or at the least is very audible.. so i gave it a little gas and the sound goes away completely.
So far what I've concluded is that
1. It's not rev dependent
2. It only seems to be there when i first start the car
3. It's not temp related
4. I have plenty of oil
5. It's only audible at idle and goes away if a tap the throttle while normal driving I can not here it at all at idle or speed.
Only way I can describe the noise is in the movies every time a car runs out of fuel it always makes that signiture sound of knocking as it comes to the side of the road.
So my question is there any way to diagnose rod knock ?
