Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST IS THAT IT IS MAKING A CLICKING SOUND AT STARTUP EVERYTIME UNTIL THE ENGINE IS GOOD AND WARM. AFTER THE ENGINE IS WARM IT WILL USUALLY STOP. THE HIGHER THE RPM'S GET THE FASTER THE SOUND IS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS WITH THE MANIFOLD. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THE COMPUTER. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT HOLD IT'S IDLE AFTER GAS IS GIVEN TO THE ENGINE. IT WIL DROP THEN COME BACK UP AND IT WILL SOMETIMES ALMOST DIE. *AK
