[QUOTE="Alan Peters, post: 1006807, member: 58139"] I'm having a issue which started today. 105K miles new fuel pump and fuel filter was installed last week. Any time I'm accelerating while in gear/driving, I get a noise like a pinging/rattle or if I'm in motion and go to accelerate say to pass someone, I get the same noise. Its consistent the same noise. Trac is from 2003. Should I be worried about the timing chain or the guides? If it sits for a couple of hours, no noise. using 5w/30 oil. Should I switch to 10w/30 next oil change and see if this goes away? I do have the 1/2 shorter Gates belt, new idler and tensioner. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
