Slykin Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, my car has developed something as of late and it's disturbing me. The other day it rained real hard(not sure if it matters) and as I was driving around, I could hear a strange clattering/squeaking noise for about one second after letting off of my gas pedal. I figured it was just something related to the water(a bearing or something in the driveline) but I drove the car today and it's doing the same thing. I'm worried that it may be rod knock or piston slap, but I'm not sure how to tell. I may take a video of it later so you guys can give me some opinions. Any ideas for now?

SVTurbo 98 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I would pull the belt off and try it to make sure it's coming from the engine and not a pulley. I'd also check to make sure your crankcase is ventilating properly and nothing is clogged up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 sounds like a velociraptor calling for help....on a serious note, I have no idea =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTurbo 98 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I had a similar sound in a foxbody a long time ago. My problem was I had zero crankcase ventilation because I messed up some vacuum lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Rod knock only on decel? Never heard of it knocking on just decel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Actually I have a new idea. My throwout bearing retainer has been causing rattling a lot since I replaced my clutch a few months ago and I'm wondering if I got some water on the TOB and it's screeching(I didn't put my dust shield back on the bell housing). The sound is definitely from the rear driver's side of the engine, so that would make some sense. I'll keep you guys updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
