Another strange noise at idle thread.. With video...
I uploaded the video on streetfire.net but it isn't up yet so ill explain whats going on. My car has started making two strange sounds. I think they are related. One is like a high speed ticking buzzing when the revs come down. It doesn'y matter if its in gea out out of gear. And also this terrible sounding knocking/backfiring at idle. Also sometimes when i start the car a get a little pop out of the exhaust. Any ideas what it could be. I have a video of the idle knocking noise.

a couple more things. It seems to do it more steadily when the car is fully warmed up. And the engine shakes sort of in sink with the knocking noise. Also you can feel it through the shifter. It only seems to do this during idle. Driving is normal no hesitation and very smooth. Doesn't seem like it's down on power. I though that maybe one of my rotors was blown. But a ghetto compresion test says it ok. Im goign for a real sometime this week. A friend has a testor.

That's nasty bro. Hope nothing serious, but **** sounds scary... Sounds internal to me, no clue. Hope you figure it out..
Reminds me of my Camry beater. Fucked up valves.
Nice car too....damn.

if the knocking is still bad and you have sometime next week if you want I'll be stopping by my uncle's house, I'm sure you can come and he'll tell you what's wrong with it.
He's worked on rotaries for 30 years now. He rebuilt my engine, 3 times, and ported it ect. He's a shitload of TII's and one I almost shat myself in. if you want I can talk to him and let him know what's up ect. He lives in clifton btw.
Let me know.

ok im back. I was this close to selling the seven and starting a new project.

Well anyway. I just took off from the turbo manifold all the back to the mufflers. Checked for cracks and reinstalled everything making sure all is tight. It is still making the above mentioned noise. Could this noise have anything to with the my mop that recently failed? i love my seven nothing else can even come close. I want it back to normal.
