You have a corrided loose or bad ground wire
When does it make a tapping noise? When your !) braking and turning wheel B) braking c) engine idling D) starting engine E) turning. I mean it just all depends....
To fix a tapping valve in a 4x4 Honda Rancher, first, ensure the engine is cool and remove the spark plug for safety. Next, check the valve clearance using a feeler gauge; if it's out of spec, adjust it by loosening the locknut and turning the adjustment screw. After making the adjustments, re-check the clearance and then reassemble everything, ensuring all parts are securely fastened. Finally, start the engine to confirm that the tapping noise has been resolved.
The loud tapping sound can be caused by a complete heating of the engine. Worn tappets can also cause the tapping sound.
Not to worry it is the valves in the engine tapping because there is not enough oil pressure yet for the fluid lifters to take up the slack in the valve train, that is why it goes away after a few minutes and also why you should always let your engine warm up before driving. a rod nock
The soleonoid on the starter is bad. When you buy a new starter it comes with the solenoid. Try tapping on the starter with a hammer if it starts after that then this is your problem
A tapping noise might come into the engine because of heat damage to the lifters of the motor. You might also hear a tapping sound if the engine has been damaged due to a blown head gasket.
hydraulic lifter? Rocker arm?
I am wondering the exact same thing! Can anyone answer this?
Honda cars are designed to do this. When the engine is warm the fan will run up to 15 min. after turning the engine off.
The alternator is run by a belt connected to the engine. When the engine is running the alternator is turning. The alternator is what produces the electrical current that charges the battery & powers everything electrical while the engine is running. the battery is mainly to start the engine.
Tapping in a diesel engine often means a valve lifter is beginning to fail. It can also mean that sub quality fuel is being used.
possibly low oil or low oil pressure, the tapping may be coming from the oil operated hydraulic lifters.
