Probably worn engine bearings. When the engine oil is cool, it's thicker, sometimes just thick enough to keep a worn rod or main bearing from knocking.

Car makes loud knocking sound at high speeds?

A loud knocking noise in the motor of a car at high speeds is most likely the engine. There could be another issue with the transmission if the knocking only happens at high speeds.


Why is it only when you accelerate in a turn in a 93 prelude do you hear a knocking noise?

The knocking noise during acceleration in a turn in a '93 Prelude could be due to worn CV joints or a faulty suspension component. As you apply power in a turn, the force on these parts can exaggerate any existing issues, leading to the noise. It's important to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the source of the knocking to prevent further damage.


What is the knocking sound on a 350 chevy it sounds like a rod but then it stops rods dont just stop knocking do they?

Some causes will:A leaky lifter will pressure up and quit, and can sound like a rod knock when the clearance is bad enoughA collapsed piston skirt will quiet down when the engine warms upA rod can knock under load or start up and quite down when oil pressure is applied. Its only going to get worse though.

What could cause a subtle knocking noise in the engine when it's cold and only when accelerating and gets quicker the faster you accelerate?

I would say you either have a rod knocking or lifter knocking. I know in the 3.8 litre motors they are known to knock alittle when you cold start them. Most Grand Ams, Grand Prixs are like this. My sister has a 2002 Grand Am that does this and the noise goes away once it's warmed up. I would also double check and make sure your oil is full. get your car to a garage for a def solution.

If there is a knocking or tapping noise in a 1995 Firebird with a slight ping that is not coming from the engine and it only happens when you press the gas could it be that the u-joints are worn out?

U Joints can certainly make noise after they've started wearing and are dried out. If you have concern about an unfamiliar noise, take the vehicle to a trusted mechanic or even the dealer. It's nearly impossible to tell you what the noise would be from a description like that.


What is causing engine knocking noise on supercharged Hummer H2 after running a little while?

The Hummer H2 is a 2005 SUT with the 6.0L Vortec and a Magna Charger supercharger. It runs great with plenty of power, but I'm concerned about some noise I'm getting out of it. When I first start it up, everything sounds fine. After running a mile or so, I start to get a knocking sound. I only notice the sound when idling, not when running.


Why is my 1997 dodge stratus 2.4ltr dohc making a load knocking noise when I accelerate?

An expert would have to hear the sound for a diagnosis. It may be your main bearings are knocking. If it also happens if you lift your foot sharply OFF the accelarator, then that's a sure thing. - Only way to check for sure is to fit an oil pressure gauge.
