getting audiable click noise on p.s of vehicle sounds like, happens when hard accel when cold. when vehicle warms up after regular driving for a while. give hard accel, no noise anymore. chirp click kinda high pitched.

 

Don't flog her till she's warmed up, it's like going in the back door dry, not good for anybody.

 

timing chain slap, mine does it till its warmer, im nt hard on it its just when the rpms reach 2500-3000 when cold it does it

"hard acel when cold"... no just no

 

Agreed with everyone else, let it at least get to 160 before taking her above 3k

 

That's like saying: "When I hit myself in the head with a brick it hurts". Stop doing it! lol

 

 

yeah i am aware of all that, just its something that wasnt happening before until little while ago. is the tensioners getting worn?

 

When you beat on your car when its cold it could be any number of problems. Get a civic.

 

I usually wait about 1-2 minutes of warmup/ light driving. That's it, cat warmup cycle plus a scoot to the end of the street then I get on it. Though not that hard, I live in residential.

 

i let the car warm up 3minutes before i drive, and i can still get this to occur. its on first hard accel.. also popped a p0103 today while at op temp driving in rainy conditions. guess ill boost leak test again

 

Letting the car warm up idling for 3minutes is useless, idling a car does not effectively warm it up. Let it idle for 30-45seconds enough to heat the oil up some, then take it easy driving until the engine coolant temps reach 160, then have fun.

 

That's a big no no man I wake up start my car then do my personal hygiene by the time I'm ready to head to base she's at 187 n I'm gud to go plus I'm turbo swap so I make sure I hav a gud warmup, just stop doing it n hopefully u HAVENT damaged anything

 

Idling is death for a direct injection engine, I would bet the OP's valves are coked bad

 

I've heard this too. Why is it so bad for direct injection engines to idle?

Idling for more than about 30-45 seconds is a waste of fuel and does almost nothing to warm up your vehicle. Driving it lightly is more effective at getting the oil warmed up and flowing than idling.

 

Idling is better than not letting it warm up.

 

6 one way half dozen the other.

Excessive idling causes valve coking with direct injection and you waste excess fuel by using idle load to warm it up, the engine oil is designed the lubricate at lower temps but better at operating temps, that's why you drive easy till its at 160. Then have fun, as to the OP the clicking who knows could be any number of things

 

are the chain guides worn or possibly the tensioner messed? powertrain concern? has warrenty still

 

If it's still got warranty fk it, let the stealership take care of it while you still can.

 

Someone got it right.



Boosting your car before 160ish... oh god
