I hope that's not engine knock you're hearing.

 

could be your release bearing is done?

 

Theres no way this is actually supposed to get a decent response to what your trying to fix. Im still in awe...

Okay, so it sounds like marbles bouncing around in a metal box -- a metallic clanking sound. Is that right?

Where is the sound coming from?

Does it make the noise while cranking, or did you actually get the car started and you are hearing this noise as the engine is idling?

Is it rhythmic or random?

Help us help you by expressing yourself clearly.

If its while the engine is idling, might be something loose and clanking around. He's not giving us much to go by

 

Word to that. For all we know it could be a wrench he left in the engine compartment, haha.

 

Heavy clanking sounds could be a bad main bearing or rotor bearing.... Lighter sounds could be one of the centering pins for the pressure plate has come loose and is now flying around in the bellhousing banging on things.

Could be an accessory making the noise....

Need more info.... Does the car run well besides the clanking? Is the engine shaking? Can you carefully listen and hear where it comes from?

 

I'll jump in on the gussing band wangon.

Did you replace you fuel injectors?
Could be those clicking open and closed.

 

Did you leave your maracas in the engine bay? I did that last cinco de mayo.

 

I'm betting nut shells left behind by the squirels that make it go.

 

for someone that needs help- he doesn't seem to be chiming in on the conversation ...word to big bird

 

Idler pulley bearing on the serpentine belt? .......does it stop when you cut the AC on? could be any one of the pullies rattling................something to check......
