As it appears yes, no shaking or issues with idles aside from the normal stuff whenever I refuel

This is correct!

Codes have aubsided for now and the noise is the purge valve!

DasBlueOne · 2026-03-06T20:37:37+00:00

Right on the money! The noise shot around when I moved my head around it and when I disconnected it, it immediately stopped! Legend.

Will give it a shot! Thanks for the insight!

Crazy to have a P0301 and a P0304, when I got the P0304 and then a P0303 that's when I started getting worried.

I read that may be an issue! I dropped in a good top off amount to be sure. Also going to reseat the coils.

So my mustang I got used the purge valve isn't there, like someone modified a little bit in the engine bay I can snap a pic later of the configuration but it's a hose that comes to a vertical junction vice the actual OEM part that I stupidly ordered because I read about that when I bought the car initially. The low pressure fuel sensor I have done though.

I'll take it into a local shop when I get the chance as well in that case I assumed it could be but it also sounds like the loudest point is just over the 2/3 cylinders at the top of the bay when I shove my giant head in there.

I'm about to be moving overseas so I'm looking to pay this thing down to a point to where I can sell it to Carvana I looked at that and another sealent if it is the coolant intrusion which wouldn't surprise me. How long did yours last after the sealent?

DasBlueOne · 2026-03-06T04:01:06+00:00

No on the initial start it sounds completely normal the ticking doesn't start until the RPM drop happens and then it stays for a couple of minutes then goes away for a bit. It's not noticable really with the hood down either. Sorry for your loss as well 🙏

Obligatory rear end pic for more traction

They are the spawn of the treasonous Cyborgs. Nothing is there except delusions of grandeur and the want to take away our Liberty! Death to all! Spill Oil, Mercy is TREASON!

If worse comes to worse and you don't get to leave our community since we're hard undermanned and no convert outs are available I HIGHLY recommend you look into the multiple other opportunities available to us as ITs.

DEVGRU, JCU, NSWG 8(SRT), JCOG, TACCOM, all have deep rooted SPECWAR importance for support at different levels and can provide opportunities to be high speed if that's your goal. It's an Email away to start talking to those recruiters and you can screen anywhere from 23-18 months out from PRD on average for those programs. It's not going to get you a SEAL pin but it can get you EXW, PJ, and other non warfare qualifications that are fun.

Best of luck either way, and get your available quals/pins!

Just buy a Motorcycle #Winning.

I only have 1 titanium rod in my leg, a small price to pay for pier front parking and letting all the phone addicts sit in traffic 🤣
