Hey guys,
After tirelessly searching the forums tonight, I am still unable to find a solution to my problem. However, before I begin, I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for offering your knowledge. Though I've been working on cars for a while, I'm still a relatively new DSM'er (just over a year) and have learned a good deal about my car from these forums, as they have become my first source for quick info. Keep up the good work.
On to my problem: It seems that after the engine has warmed up, and i sit in the car at idle i can hear a slight knocking that keeps pace with rpm's. I do have slight TOB rattle, but this is a different one...it continues when i disengage the clutch. Its difficult to describe the sound, as its more of a knock than a rattle, and seems to be coming from the bottom end of the engine (internal), and when sitting in the car, shifted towards the passenger side. This is a 98 GS-T 84k, by the way.
It seems to do this intermittently, and comes and goes...though mostly comes. Not sure what to make of it. I don't think its a rod bearing, because it goes away when I rev the motor to higher rpms. It's been doing it for a few k miles now, and has been more of a nuisance than anything because performance hasnt been affected. Thanks in advance.
