hey guys/gals
Recently my car started to make a loud high pitch rattling sound from around the head. it happened out of nowhere while I was driving home. The sound was only apparent when I accelerated. If I had foot off the gas, the sound was not there.
Before this happened some things I did to my car are, clean and oil air filter, change oil with 15w-50 mobile 1 synthetic. I also added some Liqui Moly Jectron Gasoline Fuel Injection Cleaner.
Some symptoms are, pinging/rattle sound from engine, rough idle/misfire. sound is not there when idle, only happens under load. When I first cold start the car there is no rattle sound, but once its warmed up a little the sounds comes when I start revving the engine.
It may be running rich now too, because I always smell like exhaust fumes when Im done troubleshooting the problem.
Car is CIS-e
Things I have done after the noise are, re-torque the knock sensor, new plugs and wires, and switched out my dist cap.
Oil still looks new on dipstick. Coolant looks good too.
I did narrow the sound down to the 3rd cylinder. When I remove the spark plug the sounds goes away.
Can anyone help me? I miss driving my car lol. Have to drive my dads civic for now haha.
thanks
