Strange sound when accelerating.

Anywho, I guess the sound kinda sounds like something that is spinning with a gap.. so when it hits the middle of what it's on it makes that metallic noise...that wouldn't be too good..
i went to 2 different shops and had them listen to the noise they both suggested that it sounds like cheap gas,and since the last thing i did was change my oil they suggested trying a diffrent weight oil. i used 10w30 the last time so i changed it to 40w and that's systhetic. i have'nt changed my gas yet, but after changing my oil i'm still hearing it so when my gas runs out i'll change it n let u know how it turned out.

Either you've done the worlds worst job of describing low octane induced detonation (which I doubt) or you need to go find a shop that has a clue.

If anything to do with the oil change had caused 'strange mechanical noises' it would mean permanent engine damage (again I doubt it) so once again I'm really wondering what kind of 'shops' these are.

Please do. As a matter of fact, if it's 'cheap gas', just going and filling it up with some 93 octane should make a big difference, even if the tank isn't 100% empty. I'd be really suprised if that is it.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere. You put fresh gas in and it changed the RPM the noise was occuring at?
What's your ignition timing look like? Could just be radically advanced timing.
Hey Neil, I noticed that your "pimping the flowmaster." Thats awesome, I put one on my old supra and it sounded awesome. I used to love starting that thing when it was cold!!! Sorry your car is doing some funky things, mine was too..... :3d_frown:
And I'm not leaving this forum until you guys force me to!!! Supras rock and I'm sorry I bought a Jetta. :icon_razz

How much higher rpm is it making the noise?
Pull a spark plug out, and examine it closely... specifically, look for tiny specks on the porcelain (I can never spell that word right :3d_frown: )

Stupid Jettas
Anyhow, I found out my problem Finally... It was simple, the ring on the tranny end of the drive shaft came off of it's rectangle/ovalish socket so it was spinnin' like a mother, I think it's a dust protector or something but not sure. Just had to slide my driveshaft back put the ring on and slide it back in, ta da This thread totally left my topic too
Thats not fair lol
Uhg, that ring fell off again and it's making that noise Anyone have any idea why that would happen...? Kinda odd the ring isn't bent or anything it just fell off again! So it's back to ringalingding:3d_frown: Prolly have to go buy a new one or something but still lame!

It's the ring that goes on the far left, it's unmarked but i'm pretty positive it's a dust protector....Sorry it took so long, had to find a computer with adobe reader
i took my supra to my trusted mechanic and it seems that my noise is coming from rod knock so i'm in trouble he said it was in the early stage. so im going to put some money a side to get that job done. anyone that has any ideas for me while my motor is out don't hesitate to post a comment i currently have a JDM motor and i'm looking for more power i also just did a head job. thanks!
