Engine clicking noise - Wrangler 2005

snipped-for-privacy@nowhere.net did pass the time by typing:

rock in the tire? :)

Seriously, if you don't find a rock stuck in the tire take it to the dealer and have them do the head scratching.

And also take the time to buy a service manual (the big one) They are pricy but pay for themselves the first few jobs you do.

H, Go to a big parking lot late at night when it's empty. Bring someone to drive for you. Get yourself under the hood with a torch and look for the clicking sound OR take it to the dealer for warranty work. I'd choose the second personally. Steve

Instead of a torch, he might need to use a flashlight. :-)

in some parts of the world a 'torch' is the same as a 'flashlight'

In some parts of the world you use a torch in place of a flashlight.

ture, and in some parts of the world, you use a flashlight to see the bolt that you are going to cut of with a torch. I was joking around, wasnt sure if OP was familiar with torch being also a flashlight

Given I'm in one of those parts of the world that only has torches, what's a flashlight then ? I thought it was just US for torch.

A flashlight is one of those things you put batteries in and push a button to make light come out.

A torch can be a soldering/welding tool that burns propane, acetylene, etc. or it can be a stick wrapped with rags on one end that is soaked in tar or pitch, etc and set alight. It is then carried upright for allumination (villagers chasing Frankenstein)

I was referring to the burning stick being used instead of a flashlight (torch).

aha, we call those all "torch", but the second one "welding torch".

Yes, we are 2 countries separated by a common language.

just to set things straight on the language I speak. I speak American, not English. People from England speak English, people from America speak American. American is a varient of English

Exactly. You misspelled "variant" but I still understood you :-)
