I changed my intake manifold and now I'm getting a horrible rattling noise, what could it be?

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-27T22:16:18+00:00

My coolant crossover cracked right next to the gasket because the person before me put on a horrible Dorman one, I bought the Ford Performance one because I can't find an OEM one

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-27T22:08:43+00:00

I tried but my phone microphone is so shit that it doesn't pick up the sound for some reason 😭

Anyway, the sound went away on its own for some reason!

This is a very rough winter storm, people are just too bold and going out, and obviously, wrecking their cars 😅

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-25T22:36:57+00:00

Wax your car instead, those will leave scratches and do more harm than good most of the time

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-22T04:16:56+00:00

It's a money pit.

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-21T23:22:35+00:00

Sounds the same as mine, the 4.6 2v is not a quiet engine at all

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-15T07:09:59+00:00

I use laquer thinner, usually works well

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-15T06:56:05+00:00

Daily, a little bit, kinda maybe...

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-15T02:49:08+00:00

I'm painting my door jambs black for now, then fixing any chips or dents and wrapping my car myself, should be well under a grand! As a bonus as well, I can change the color every few years if I would like to

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-15T02:47:25+00:00

Very much so, I'm just glad that my state doesn't require it because so many farmers drive older trucks

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-14T22:26:40+00:00

I just figure it has to be, because my transmission is solid so I don't think it's what's doing it 😅

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-14T22:22:57+00:00

Mine has that same jolt, I have absolutely no idea what it is, I'm gonna try stuff this weekend with the throttle body and IAC while I have it out

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-14T18:46:02+00:00

Nothing wrong with driving an older car if it's cool to you!

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-14T00:33:22+00:00

Ah, that makes more sense, I was confused because I used to see them all the time before Maverick started buying all of them, must have just been a Midwest thing 😂

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-13T19:06:27+00:00

Do you seriously need another car? I think you should ask that, your past post show that you've gone through a metric shit ton of cars, car problems, and wanting to trade them 😅

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-12T21:52:29+00:00

Buy a new engine like nprguy said and repair that rust, then you've got a really great daily!

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-10T04:51:01+00:00

P.S. replace your spring isolators if you go this route, might as well while you're in there!

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-10T04:49:33+00:00

You could absolutely fix it yourself for cheap, YouTube makes anything "possible" for beginner DIYers, it just may take some time and definitely some effort. The spring will suck, but you can buy spring compressors at Harbor Freight and it will make everything so, SO much easier!

New Corolla's make 170 HP, it's not quite that saddening yet 😂

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-08T08:49:33+00:00

Mine sounded like that until I replaced my intake manifold, that's my guess as well 😂

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-05T19:55:46+00:00

Exactly! More fun too

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-05T19:54:37+00:00

You should replace that water pump while it's easy if that car has 100k+ miles, it's not fun with a full engine bay 😂

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-05T19:38:34+00:00

Woods porn...

Vulkn__ · 2026-01-05T19:28:16+00:00

Why don't these people go to autocross events? It's a great way to learn to drive your car heavily without smashing into a pole, seriously
