Creaking pop noise on acceleration intermittent
 

:lol:Please help me diagnose this sound. I thought it was a loose exhaust hanger by transmission crossover or torque rod by starter. Mechanic could not diagnose it. Sounds like it’s coming from intake. 80k miles, stock tune, 91 octane, Trd exhaust.

Intermittent problem. But it’s happening more regularly. It creaks not on acceleration under load in all gears 2500-3300 rpm. and it does a quick pop in neutral when you dab the gas pedal.

Car runs amazing

Please help

Thanks

My first thought is the direct injector seals. I don't remember exactly when the stock tunes had the fix but thats what your video and description sound like to me.

Hello Spelot and welcome to ...... The Forum - :clap:

Does your car make that sound when it's stationary?

If it only does it when it's moving, it may be a lose heat shield or under panel.

Hello, Thanks for the input. It mostly makes the noise while moving and in gear. But we can can replicate the noise on the lift and accelerating in gear. It will make a quick creak or pop if its in neutral and the gas is stabbed.

Hello, Thanks for the input on the direct injection seals. I'll look deeper into this.
