Ghost Groan Sound from Engine

Thanks so much to all for your lack of assistance.

Rick,

If that's your attitude, you don't deserve any assistance. Your post was only a day old before you decided to 'blast' the group. People are not sitting at their PC's solely waiting for your questions. Have a bit of patience and somebody may answer your query (but considering your attitude I doubt it and hope not).

Thanks so much to all for your lack of assistance.

I had this noise on my '86 XJ-S and came to the conclusion it was from the Auxiliary Air Valve. During cold start-up, air passes around and through the valve and is combined downstream. I concluded that somewhere during the warm-up, the two flows hit a resonance causing the piston to vibrate, hence the noise. I did not regard this problem as serious and did nothing about it. It eventually went away. If this is what is causing your problem, you should be able to place a screwdriver or similar listening device on the valve while the noise is present, and, with your ear on the handle, you should hear it loud and clear.
