AE82 FXGT sounds like a diesel

Postby 1984FXGT » Fri May 09, 2014 9:34 am

Help my AE82 Fxgt sounds likes a 1980s diesel at idle. Has a loud ticking noise comming from the head. Any ideas what it can be? It has only started in the last few weeks and am a little concerned about that it can be. The engine still goes fine and still hits redline with no issues but when idleing it sounds like a diesel tractor.

Engine is a 4age silvertop.

Thanks

Do a search on VVT pulley ;-)
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

Does that effect the performance of the vvt at all?

No, but it interferes with the flux capacitor.

:P

Yes it does, it controls the VVT.

Take the plug off the VVT solenoid and apply 12V to it at idle. The noise should stop with power applied.

Although that will drop the revs a bit and make it sound like it's got a lumpy cam in it - if you're old enough to know what that sounds like!! :wink:
See ya
