Odd Engine Noise

supraman_nz · Post by **supraman_nz** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 6:23 pm

Car is a 99 Carmy - 2.2L.

Been running great for years but its suddenly started making an odd noise at around 2300 RPM. It sounds like a tinny rattle in the engine that only comes on during 2300 RPM ish above and below it is normal.
Cars a manual if that makes any difference.

Any ideas what it could be? Is it worth getting checked out?

Thanks in advance guys

blown fuse for the flux capacitor?

likely to be a heat sheild or an exhaust bracket.

We had a very similar thing - turned out it was the exhaust bracket under the sump was cracked.

I replaced the flux capacitor on our camry when we had an odd rattle... didn't fix the noise but I ended up in 1957 when I went over 139.68 kph! (88mph). I never even knew that the flux capacitor had failed!

mate, if you have your one hard wired to the power supply, you're running the risk of either a major meltdown, or getting stuck somewhere in time if you get you're wires crossed :roll:

Make sure you have 1.21 Jiggawatts or else you won't be able to trigger the flux capacitor.
