Your hot exhaust is cooling down and the metal is making a ping sound, chances are though, that your exhaust is possibly getting too hot, or has some loose components inside or bolted to it.

If your exhaust rattles at all, you may need to replace the muffler, and if you car has a trouble code related to misfire, or catalytic converter there may be too much fuel in the exhaust and is too hot.

What could cause a loud clicking sound in front and back of a 1995 ford for about 5 minutes after motor is turned off?

I will take a stab at the answer....... Do you live in a hot climate? If so, when the engine is hot and possibly a new exhaust was installed, the clicking would be the exhaust cooling off. Sound good ?


Why does the engine make clicking noises right after it's parked and turned off?

Clicking noises after an engine is turned off are often caused by the cooling and contracting of engine components. As the engine cools, metal parts such as the exhaust manifold and cylinder heads may expand or contract, leading to these sounds. Additionally, the fuel injectors or various electrical components may also make clicking sounds as they reset or power down. This is generally normal and not a cause for concern.


Why is a cooling system required in a motor vehicle?

Because quite a lot of the energy used by a combustion engine gets turned into heat whether we want it or not, so a cooling system is needed to keep the engine from overheating.


On a 1993 Pontiac Grand Prix 31 v6 is the intake manifold on the front and exhaust on the rear?

On the front and rear of what?? The Air Intake Manifold is on the TOP of the engine. the Exhaust Manifold are on the sides of an engine. On a front wheel drive vehicle, the engine is turned 90 degrees, so the exhaust manifold appears to be on the front and back of the engine, below the valve covers.


Is there supposed to be popping noises coming from exhaust pipes?

If your talking about it doing that after you have turned off the engine then yes. That's just the hot exhaust pipes and catalytic converter contracting as they cool.

Can a turbo cause a car to overheat?

Yes, adding a turbo to a N/A engine can, it the cooling system can't handle the extra heat the extra power will generate. It alos can on a factory turbo car, if the boost is turned up too high, causing excessive exhaust backpressure/egt.

Does thermostate control double radiator fans in Honda cr-v?

One of the fans operates independently of the air conditioning system. The other fan will only operate if the air conditioning system is turned on and the engine needs extra cooling to exhaust the heat transferred to the engine coolant by the operation of the A/C. They both are tirggered into operation by thermostatic switches but not the same switches. They are independent of one another. CAUTION: Do not confuse these thermostatic switches with the actual cooling system thermostat contained in the engine block that controls the flow of the coolant.


Why does the cooling fans on your 1999 Jaguar continue to ru n after motor is shut off?

The cooling fans on your 1999 Jaguar may continue to run after the engine is turned off to help dissipate heat from the engine and prevent overheating. This is a normal function designed to protect the engine components, especially if the engine was running hot or if the ambient temperature is high. The fans are controlled by a temperature sensor that activates them when needed, even after the ignition has been turned off. If the fans run excessively or for an unusually long time, it may indicate a malfunction in the cooling system or the temperature sensor.
