doesnt sound good,

not 100% sure what it is, sounds like a misfire..
almost..
but i havent checked the wires plugs yet, since its 330 in the morning..

just started doin this tonight, kinda disturbed by it randomly comin up like this,
but hey, *shoot* happens. it sounds like its coming from the #6 area, if im not mistaken,
(as you look at the engine, its the back right)
it almost sounds like a leaky impact wrench hose, best description i can think of..

anyway, ima ride over to the local napa, and grab up a new set of wires and plugs either way,
the cars been sitting for a good year and a half, it most likely needs a tune up and an oil change.

any chance it could be a leak from the header gasket? it only makes the sound when the car is under load.

Sounds like a possible exhaust manifold leak (gasket)...

I have the same issue with mine... started out only under boost and now it's under any load at all. I might take it in so someone can put it on a lift and look for exhaust cracks... But I'd rather just find some cheap headers and a DP then pay for repairs of stock parts.

Keep updating if you figure it out, please.

hmm, it might be a bad gasket on the rear header, but its comin from right by the egr valve, im not to worried right now, its not bad its just annoying, either way, ill be gone for 9 months anyway

Good luck with finding cheap headers.


Madmike: Could be the EGR pipe or the EGR gasket.

01bonneSC: Took the words right out of my mouth...the EGR gasket or pipe was going to be my next post!
