Mart Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I think I have that same grinding noise as you. It ticks away the whole time, then as the revs raise the noise raises aswell.Pure strange man... Quote

HahaThe ticking is the idel control valve,thats nothing to worry about,all starlets do it (so i have read)The other one (im hoping) is one of the aux pulleys Quote
