Consumer Description

2003 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER V6 SR5 GENERATES THIS UNUSUAL (TICK, TICK, TICK) ENGINE NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING. IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOOSE PART IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THIS NOISE IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE 4-RUNNER, DRIVEN BY MY WIFE, ACCELERATES BY ME OR WHEN I DRIVE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN NEXT TO A WALL. IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE AN EXHAUST LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *NLM
