HazellNutter Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone!Hoping someone could shed a light on a weird noise i have in my engine bay (please move if not in the correct section).Ever since i got my starlet SR, ive had the bonnet open and next to the airbox ill here a random buzz, electrical shorting type sound which comes and goes(pretty sure it isnt though) almost sounds like some hench fly is stuck somewere.Anyway Today i was replacing my spark plugs and noticed it again so starting tapping, moving things to try to find it when i came across the item in the picture below, when tapped it makes the noise described above? Everytime! Is this normal, isit even this? Help!?!?Car runs fine by the way.Thanks in advance Edited August 20, 2016 by HazellNutter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 That's your fuel filter lol. You sure its not the charcoal filter next to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HazellNutter Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yeah i know it was the fuel filter but when i tap it, i get this weird noise? Engine off to....

adzy Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Haha I think all na starlets make that noise, well any I've owned anyway. Seems to come from the charcoal canister. I just nicknamed it Barry the bee lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
