Doesn't sound good.... #1489009 01/25/06 07:20 PM

OP DyComet CEG\'er D Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 90 Nasti Nati	I did some work on the car over the weekend, replaced the plugs and changed the oil. I started it back up after the oil change and I heard a low somewhat popping sound when the car is in low rpm. It may be doing in higher rpm's as well I just can't hear it over the engine noise. I'm not exactly sure when this started since everytime I drive I have my music on and can't hear anything anyway. It sounds like it pops every 4-5 seconds. Can anyone help me out? FS: Stock Diff.

I know I just changed my wires and they had white tracing in several spots especially where they came close to the block. For Sale 98+ SVT gauge cluster '98 Mystique LS 2.5l 5spd

I'll get back to you guys and let you know if it work. Thanks. FS: Stock Diff. Stock Shift Forks SE Front and Rear Bumper
