Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine and Car Noises nissan altima 97 New User Oct 25, 2009, 7:55 AM Post #1 of 3 (2881 views) loud 1997 altima Sign In I have a 1997 Nissan Altima GXE with 145,000 miles on it. Recently, it sounds like a diesal engine truck while running., or more specifically like there is something wrong with the muffler(which there isn't) It also seems to be idling faster than usual. It may not be related to the noise but there has been a large amount of carbon around my gas cap. The mechanic looked at it and couldn't find the source and my car recently passed MARTA. Recent repairs include: new water pump, new radiator, spark plugs, gasket cover, brake pads. Any suggestions on why it is so loud ? It isn't overheating, and the transmission seems fine. thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 25, 2009, 9:17 AM Post #2 of 3 (2874 views) Re: loud 1997 altima Sign In What kind of noise is it?

Is the noise coming from the engine compartment? Using a piece of hose like a stethescope, with one end at your ear, you should be able to pin-point where the noise is coming from. It's possible that you have an exhaust manifold leak that could be hidden with a heat-shield?
