well :disappoin did you check your oil level lately ?? try to change oil your self, if your car already high mile, just run castrol gtx 10w/30 with pureone oil filter should cost you around $16 , that what I run on my turbo car.

Whippersnapper. :rolleyes: That was almost a half a decade ago for me ;) I think I know the noise though. My corolla makes that noise at idle sometimes (maybe it's the same). I think it may be the egr. (when it opens perhaps? is it a sort of open exhaust type noise? only it's around the intake runner area?)

edit: I haven't noticed any bad side effects from it though.

Yeah, sounds like an exhaust leak, rev the engine with the throttle cable and see if you can pinpoint it. I've heard of small exhaust leaks sealing themselves up when the metal expands...if that makes sense?

Hmmm, is it maybe because the fans are on? Thats the only thing I can think of... besides the whistle all the NT guys here seem to have.

My buddies 98 eclipse does the same thing and come to find out it was just the air filter box sucking in a little extra air (Leak).
So check your shit for leaks :banghead:

kinda old thread but i thank you for the reply man,i found out it was the belt i think its going out on me.but thanks for trying to help man.

yeah no prob dude I am a big Eclipse fan I just wish I could increase my horses on my little 1.8 liter engine any ideas?
