Exclamation Help! So Cal Mustang Cobra Owner with Engine Knock needs help!

Hello,

I recently purchased a 99 mustang cobra and I had a check engine code for missfire on monday and checked the plugs and coils and everything seemed ok. The next day driving in the street 2nd gear at 3500 rpm I got this knock that got loud . I wasnt driving it hard at all I havent even taken the car past 4000 rpm since purchased.

I took it home since I was just a block away and checked it and honestly need a second opinion on the problem.or maybe someone could come by and help spot the problem. any help would be appreciated .

my number is 626 5923928

Me and my brother located the knock coming from the area of the manifold towards the top middle of the engine .Engine didnt overheat and oil pressure stayed normal.

Car starts up normal and knock goes 3 seconds and stops 1-2 then continues same way .


thanks
Roger

I am going to move this to the New Edge section as they might be able to give you a better answer. If you need a shop Dyno Tune on Citrus Ave is a great shop. Kevin, the owner, knows his stuff and is very nice.
