Tapping sound
Quick question
I just bought a 1996 acura integra 3 door LS.
I noticed it has a small tap, but i dont think its a rod, it sounds maybe like a valve or somthing. Ive heard the same nose on many cars even on a jeep liberty. It sounds like its coming from under my intake manifold kinda.
The only thing scaring me is it does accelerate with the engine.
But it never gets louder and its barly audible..
Could somone possibly give me some ideas or things i could do to find out hat the tap is?

most likely you need a valve adjustment.. not that hard to DIY.. but if yer not sure of yerself, bring it to a shop.. should only run you about $80. for the most part, you might still hear slight tapping..

The injectors are loud too, but shouldn't be audible with the car moving.
