Metal sound when accelerating

[lhhao]

Hi everyone,

Any one facing the same situation as me? Everytime when i press on the accelerator when moving off from stationary or at low speed, there will be this metal sound coming out which last for 1 to 2 sec. Anyone can advice?

If you drive from station to 30km/hr and hear this sound for 1/2 sec, then it is the ABS checking sound.  You only notice this after few years of driving.

The sound is like metal "rattling" sound. And it happens when i press the accelerator at low speed.

ABS checking sound will be heard whenever u off the ignition and then start the engine again,the first move off to 30km/hr.Many of the forum members came to me regarding this issue.

Anyway, is pinging of engine bad for the engine?

[d.titan]

yes engine ping is bad
hv tried to find what causes it,
duno understand the explaination.

think it started abt 2yrs
when the car was abt 4yrs old

It also help with the octane booster,
but more $
so i just stick with caltex 98

they hv the little people cleaning up yr engine....
in their advert.....

cheers

Engine ping can be resolve by tuning, it cause by bad ratio mixture of fuel and air which indirectly incur bad combustion. Higher octane petrol may ease to smoothen the combustion due to addictive added but it doesn't aid in solving the root cause.

Hi jazz, can give an idea how much would it cost to tune the car?
Titan, 98 really helps to minimise the sound. But i still can hear it at times.

Kelvin, d0 you do car tuning? Thinking of giving it a try to see if it resolves the issue

Yup. I think its the same sound. Btw, how old is yr car? What have you tried so far in trying to resolve this? Has yr prob been resolved?

Nope, keep it stock then.

I also hv this sound when going upslope in the multi-storey carpark. My case was due to the alum. shield for the exshaust pipe. I asked the mechanic to adjust the plate and it minminize the sound.
