4.0 V8 Clanking Noise
My new to me 1995 4.0SE RR (133k) runs extremely well. It is smooth, revs smoothly, NO smoking during start, acceleration, gear change, revving, etc. It has two problems: Most concerned about a light clattering sound seemingly coming from the engine. I though maybe catalytics? (Went through them on Classic which sounds like engine is falling apart) but these were replaced under recall in 2002. Sound is light. Even with windows down you can't hear it when under way. If you are in a tunnel or next to building you can hear it. With hood up, you can hear it. Also, listening next to the fenders you can hear it well. Very hard to pinpoint sound. Immediately upon starting when cold for maybe a minute you don't hear it. Then it comes on. Kind of like "tap-tap-tap-tap" The noise DOES increase according to RPMs. Valves? Rovers North (just from description) said probably not a liner. ANy ideas?
Other problem is sometimes you start truck and then it dies. Always starts and runs next attempt. Coil packs just replaced, plugs replaced, air cleaner ok. Ideas?
