Title: clacking from start with heavy acceleration noise
Post by: nannho on March 30, 2015, 10:28:30 AM
OK need some help as I checked the TSBs and couldn't necessarily found anything. Scenario is below:

At a light stopped and there is a civil next to me. Light turns green and this guy guns it. He either has the biggest f**king hole in his muffler of no muffler at all. I was on the phone and gunned it to get past this guy, and maybe around 30-50 mph I hear this loud, machine gun, clacking. Very short like 2 or 3 seconds, like 4 to 8 clacks and defiantly from the SHO. It sounded like I put a golf ball in a jar and rapidly shook it back and forth against the glass, or something to that effect.

It was about 40 degrees and clear. Directly prior I was sitting in a lot idling for 10 min or so.

What could this be? Has happened one other time that I can recall.

Knock sensor or condensation on the intercooler? Was slow to shift through as well, as I was getting on it.

Tried to repeat issue and could not. Any ideas?

Cross posted on SHOforum.com as well.

Thanks guys!

You mentioned this was on a 1-2 shift.  Is your SHO tuned?
