irishlaw3 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have a rattle when I accelerate about 25-50%, but not there when I'm around 75%. Does this sound like an exhaust problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Sure it's not engine knock or ping? Our crappy gas down here doesn't help that issue. Occasionally I'll throw in some octane boost and it silences that issue straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCMSH Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Honestly I just get the O'Reilly house brand stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOXXOH Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 A gallon of E85 would probably work just as well to avoid heat related spark knock. If you're not using a top tier gas, you need to switch. I prefer Chevron, since it includes Techron that keeps the fuel gauge free from corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishlaw3 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks I will look into that. I almost always use chevron though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvettech Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 ive seen the main belt tensioner, ac compressor and ac belt tensioner cause rattles. the ac compressor will stop rattling when you turn off the ac , the ac belt tensioner and main belt tensioner may or may not stop with ac off, usually it doesn't make a difference though.
