So apparently my car is cammed...

Haha, I moved my car outta the garage about 15 mins ago so my mother could park in; since I'm going out tonight. Anywayz, I hear this thumping noise outta my exhaust and Im like wtf...so I run into to get the cam and take a vid of it. Sounds pretty crazy. No abnormal noise from the engine though, so weird...

My car does that sometimes on start-up as well, never have figured it out.

mine sounds cammed too, its pretty lopey

+3 here. My car has a loppy idle sometiems too. Thoght is was my plugs/wires/coilpacks. I was wrong. Bought the screamin demon wires and packs for 320 bucks. Worst 320 dollars spent on my car

 

[97CasperCobra]

yea...my Cobra will do the same thing every once in a while. Somewhat lopey engine and the stick will start to move. After about 10 seconds it goes away..... :shrug:

 

[SnakeBite98]

mine does it all the time, maybe just the packs?

My 94 definetly sounded like it had a mild cam in it. It had a decent lope at idle and the spintech prostreets with turndowns really amplified the sound. The 97 will lope a little bit, but nothing like the 94 did stock.

Fixed the link.

My '95 has a lope to it, and sounds exactly like a modified cam. I've never been in the engine ( :shrug: ) , and I don't have that good of a history on it.

I guess it would, David, with a AFM B-21 in it ... LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

OOPS, I just saw in your post that you had already said that ... :dw:

Holy shit that sounds terrible!! My car has never sounded like that.

 

[98gt281]

It just sounds like a missfire upon start-up, after I get mine up to operating temps it goes away. Sometimes it won't do it for months, then out of the blue it will do it. I am not worried about it anymore, I have had 3 different 4.6's in my car and they ALL did it. I have learned to get used to it, plus it sounds kinda cool.

If you really wanna hear a cam sound on the 4v's it after you do the seafoam. It sounds so tight

 

[97NA_Cobra]

Mine did it after I changed the plugs, I thought I f'ed something up somewhere. It went away and hasn't done it since, that was like a week ago.

 

[SnakeBite98]

ok, that doesn't necessarily sound good, a cammed car sounds different. mine doesn't do that, but maybe it would sound different if iwas there.

 

[whitecobra98]

Mine will do the same after it sits for a couple of days. It goes away
