It does sound like that BUT this noise is happening when the car is stationary (and also when moving, and frequency does not correlate with engine or vehicle speed). Looking in the engine bay when it was happening I have isolated the noise to the "Booster Motor Pump" which vibrates when the...

I am trying to get to diagnose a similar noise and I have zoned in on the booster pump motor. I get the same normal pump noise from rebuilding pressure after a few brake applications, but the noise in question is different. It is a consistent "kkkkkkkk" "kkkkkkkk" noise every 2-3 seconds, but...

I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I have been having and this thread seems to be the closest thing to helping. There has been a noise behind the dash/firewall that comes up every once in a while when I drive to work in the morning, and I am not sure what it is. Here is a video of the noise...

If 3D printing the spacers, what would be the best material to print them out of? I am not well versed in the material science of the different materials and a quick google search did not provide me with clarity on what would be best. Should I use ABS, PLA, or Nylon?

I am trying to use this thread as a gauge to see if modding up my 2002 would be a worthwhile investment. I will probably need to sell her in the next year or so but I need to replace some worn-out suspension bits now to keep her running safe. Will there be return on adding $1000 in souped-up...

I have a 2002 with 240k miles and just had an issue that sounds very similar, it would idle rough and when applying throttle it would vibrate/shake at RPM speed, not at wheel speed. If the vibrations during throttle application feel the same at different speeds (meaning different gears), then...

Water vapor is actually one of the byproducts of gasoline combustion. You combine Gas + Oxygen and you get out C02 + H20. When it is cold the water vapor condenses and makes liquid water you are seeing. If you are seeing this once the engine and exhaust pipe are hot, then you might have an issue.
