Okay got a question for you. now i talked to some one else and they had the same problem. when u drive anywhere, and u turn off your engine do u ever hear like pinging under ur car. i know some car do it when they run hot. but mine do it even if i go around the corner. any suggestion on what this is.

Also called "dieseling" that my friend would be a problem with your motor being out of time

I don't think he's talking about his car dieseling.

Is it kinda like a ticking sound coming from under your car?

[carnutcass]

I think he's referring to the clinking and popping noise that the exhaust makes as it starts to cool off.

That's what I was getting at......you just happened to beat me there

Sorry 'bout that.

Hey Roderick, if that's the noise you're talking about, don't worry about it. The popping is just the metal exhaust parts contracting as they begin to cool.

But don't quote me if you have connecting rods and oil puddles in your driveway.

oh okay. i was just woundering cuz some days its louder than some days. but okay thanks again

another thing if i cut the drl wire it wont hurt nuttin right. cuz i tried pullin it and fo some reason it wont come out so i was thinkin bout just cuttin the wire. thats coo right?

[kilroypr]

You can cut it, but if you want to trade your car. People might want to have the feature...

[kilroypr]

And carnut is correct, the sounds come from cooling components

[smoovrider]

yea thats what i thought to. but i thought it only mad that noise when the motor runs hot?
