Ticking - Exhaust? Empty
PostSubject: Ticking - Exhaust?   Ticking - Exhaust? EmptyTue May 06, 2008 4:09 pm

Last week I notced every so lightly surging in my car on the highway. I'm talking the lightest, most imperceptible type - that only an owner of a car could notice.

At the same time, a small ticking - I'm hoping its just an exhaust leak.

I'm taking it in tomorrow to the Stealership - any tips? Anyone ever had an exhaust leak?

1996 Riv, 111k miles.

check the EGR piping for leaks. It wll give you a tick and cause a vaccum leak which could cause the surging

Its the front - front driver's side.

I got paranoid for a second that it was a lifter but I'm sure its not that now.

I guess I'll find out tomorrow! They're giving me a loaner!
