DEMonte1997 Posted December 22, 2003 Report Posted December 22, 2003 Lately when accelerating up past 4K rpms, I hear a pinging/jingling sound coming from under the hood. Any suggestions for what is wrong? I run 87, so I'm guessing it might be that. It doesn't happen when it shifts, so I don't think it would be the tranny. Could it be the timing chain? I know the LQ1 has a timing chain and a belt.. Car is sitting at 41K miles and it is really well cared for. Thanks in advance for any input. Quote
5speedz34 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Posted December 23, 2003 Possibly spark knock or a wire arching? Try changing the gas to 89 and see what that does for yah. Quote
scorpion_x9 Posted December 28, 2003 Report Posted December 28, 2003 old post... but anyways. It sounds kinda like the same thing I have, I found out that it's part of the AC compressor clutch when it's disengaged. Try turning on your AC and revving again, see if it jingles again. Quote
