Try running a bottle of techron
and ONLY use regular gas
thats what it sound like marbles i do run it on regular gas i live in N.Y. only trump can buy the good stuff but what is techron i have not heard of it isn't it a additive in oil
Techron is what chevron puts in its gas, its also sold in bottles.
Its 1 of the additives for fuel that actually works.
Spilled beer works good too :)
did not know it was sold in bottles give it a try thanks
You can purchase them at CostCo. They are actually relatively cheap in price.
ok i the techron on the shelf at pep boys used 2 bottles of this stuff and tne noise was cut down alot thanks for the great info
If the "loud" sound is under the hood, it could be a bad hydrostatic fan clutch (or one that's going bad and sticks when it's cold).
