Noise in engine.....help!


Recommended Posts

So I just put my Lotus away in the garage. It hasn’t been used for a month but I started it and ran it for half an hour a week ago. It was smooth as a baby’s butt ticking over, like always. Then, last night moving it into the  garage it gets a rattle on tick over. Blip the throttle, nothing. Tick over .... omg it sounds awful. Help!

Last time I checked which was last time I drove it, it was 3/4 up the stick. Here's the noise

It just suddenly came on. Last time it was fine. I know what it sounds like but there has been no warning, it runs smoothly when I ran it over to moms to put away in the garage. It was freezing last night but that shouldnt make a difference.

We’re you able to establish where in the engine it was? Hydraulic lifters make a racket until they pump up, but it’s not known as an issue with Toyota’s,

Iidler bearing make a squealing noise when the outside is rusty.

Sudden thought. Could it be something to do with the A/C tensioner or something? I've only recently had it done, it was freezing last night (Car was iced up) and cold and when I blipped the throttle it smoothed out with no noise whatsoever!
