clicking noise???
Thursday, October 11, 2007 7:05 PM
99 Z24, making a clicking noise and its coming from under the hood. not low oil level because i just did an oil change.

clicking noise becomes quieter when the steering wheel is turned while the car is idleing. not sure weather or not it makes a noise while driving cuz of my exhaust.

power steering fluid was low for about a month (made eerrghh noise when you turn the wheel) but then i refilled it but i didnt bleed it. the clicking problem happened about a month after.

any idea's on what it might be? thanks in advance for any help

I don't know what it is, but I know it isn't really a post for the performance forum.

timing chain tensioner, chain is flapping around, turning the wheel puts load on the ps pump in turn pressure on the intake cam, pressure on the chain picking up the slack

Could be many things but possiblitys to start are



First on the list is deffinalty timing chain tensioner for sure had 3 go! NApa thumbs down car sounds like a diesel when tensioner is bad,
Some one the put timing chain on wrong
Bad lifter
rod bearing
crank bearing
jammed wrist pin
stuck rings "actually just happend to me when my #2 cyl. ran lean and spark plug fell in cyl."
Bad cam
Bearing on water pump gear driven by timing chain
lose crank pully


Things really echo through that engine and always are heard in top end
