Ok before I get bombarded with "use the search" I in fact did. lol... Couldn't find anything with similar issues...
05 LS V8 119K
Only for tops of 3 sec does this happen. I get a rattle almost like a broken lifter. Does not do it if sat over night. Only if I drive it till it heats up and then let it sit for an hr or 2. Havnt been able to diagnose the problem. When I first bought the car had a check engine light. turns out the light was for the timing. took it to the shop and they wiped the code and hasn't been on since... iv put 200miles since the clear of code. So (I don't think its the timing) however Iv been wrong before. Im a new owner and not sure what to expect from these cars...
So here what Iv done to see if I could quiet it down or eliminate the problem. Oil Change with Syn Mobil 1 5w20 and puralator filter. and fuel filter.
Keep in mind its about 50 degrees when I leave for work. as of now,
So only on start up at 3 sec. (rattle, like marbles in a can) if I shut off car right after, it wont do it again. unless I let it sit. Its loud and noticeable and does not sound healthy. Iv had delt with blown engines, broken lifters (which is what it sounds like) and such things before... but this boggles my mind...
Any insight to this... My warrnety I have does not cover this... Kinda pissed... HELP!
