Strange noise at idle
1987 carrera coupe, 100 cell cat, stock muffler, SW chip. runs great...
For a long time now, I have had this hollow metalic sound at idle. It disappears when revs increase and it reminds me of a water pump sound on water cooled engine cars needing service. I tightened many of apparent vaccum hoses, intakes etc... It might be a natural carrera sound... Any suggestions on getting rid of it? Thanks |

does it sound somewhat like a kazoo, and is it located near the right side of the engine compartment? If so, it's probably your Auxiliary Air Valve.

I can not locate the source and location of the noise..it comes from the engine area...
Yes the noise is not there at higher engine revolutions. I will evaluate results of depressing the clutch |

If you've owned the car a long time, is this a new noise? or something developed over time?

Noise.
David,
Have a look at the engine mounted heater blower unit during idle. There are several mounting points. Good luck, Gerry
