Cold start problem like no other, ticking noise while accelerating?
Cold start problem like no other, ticking noise while accelerating?
interesting problem here;
cold start, no problems. as i start to drive after cold start, everything is perfect. but just after about 2 minutes, something starts ticking rapidly (like 2 clicks per second) as i press accelerator. it doesn't do it at idle and it slowly fades away after 2k rpm and as engine becomes hotter.
it doesn't matter how hard i press accelerator as long as i am under 2k rpm. frequency doesn't change with throttle position either.
what is this?
i think you might need headphones to hear the sound (i cannot hear it on my pc but i can on my iphone 7, it is definitely audible). it clicks very rapidly, it is definitely coming from engine and i cannot put my finger on it since it doesn't do it when the car is idling.
