Hi listers
My '00 Venture (52K miles) got a rapid tapping sound today. After an hour driving in traffic jam, I stopped in a mall. When I started again, there was a loud "tac tac tac" that became faster as the engine speed increase. I stopped the engine and started again. Still the same problem. After driving 5 miles the sounds went off, but came back after a traffic light stop. Oil & coolant level OK, no light in the instrument cluster Before bring it to the mechanic any advices are welcome
(It seems to be a valve lifter isn't it ?)
