QUOTE=Brandish]G'day,
I have a '95 Sunfire 5-speed with the 2.2L OHV (carryover engine from the Sunbird), and I get this knocking or ratlling noise in the engine when I'm idling. I seem to hear the same noise from other 'fires/cavs from that era, so I'm wondering if it's anything to be concerned about. I found this GM site with a list of recalls, and I remember reading something about that exact noise in those engines, and they described it as "normal" from what I remember. The car runs fine, passed emissions this year, no other problems, I just dunno if it's the sound of impending doom, or if it is in fact "normal." Thanks in advance for any advice! |

Having trouble finding the exact site, but I found something
here... If you scroll down to Apr. '98 it mentions something about engine "clattering" at idle.
I'll see if I can localize the sound. Oh and one other thing... I don't usually hear it when I first fire it up; it seems to get more audible as the car runs longer.
