Re: Noise coming from underneath the car..HELP!
it doesnt matter if its a hot or cool day or if the car is cold or warmed up. it does sound like a ratchety click but i use 91 to 94 octane fuel only.
the noise only comes early on in acceleration of each gear.
we'll see what happens
03 G35 coupe SS (GD) 6spd everything but navi
02 QX4 pearl white
00 528 Silver on black

Re: Noise coming from underneath the car..HELP!
You may be experiencing knocking or pinging- pre-ignition, if it's only on acceleration or heavy load. Is it a somewhat metallic tick?
Suggest you ensure that you fill up with good quality fuel (Sunoco 94, for example), no gasohol, at a station you know to have a high turnover rate of not just fuel, but more specifically, of their high octane fuel.
This may sound like telling someone how to suck eggs, but now with fuel prices being higher, people aren't using premium unless their car calls for it, so many stations with a high turnover of fuel are just selling a lot of 87 or 89, and very little 91-94. Gasohol tends to burn very inconsistently, and thus can wreak havoc on your engine's ecu.
