The loud noise from the air intake on a 2000 Lincoln Town Car can be caused by several factors, including a damaged or loose air intake duct, a malfunctioning air filter, or issues with the mass airflow sensor. Additionally, vacuum leaks in the intake system can lead to increased noise as air is drawn in. It's important to inspect these components to identify the exact source of the noise. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues from arising.
Have you checked your tires?
broken or loose exhaust supports?
Switch? Relay?
an air leak in your intake will cause the engine to rattle. Protege's intake hoses are prone to cracking.
Most common culprit is a slipping belt.
A large intake manifold leak. Check the boot at the throttle body.
It's either the control arm bushings or the rubber mounts for the shocks.
It may be low of lube or a bearing may be defective. Have it inspected by a professional.
Original belt? If so, the rubber's gone hard and is slipping.
