Engine shutters and gets loud at low speeds?

Hi,

Often times a rough idle is caused by an engine vacuum leak. Have you checked for any? If not, start with that.

Here is a link that explains how to find one:

Also, is it possible for you to record the noise you mentioned and upload it for me to hear? That has me a bit confused. Also, let me know if once you it is off idle if it runs normally or has a power loss.

Let me know,

Hi,

I certainly heard it. To me, it sounds like top end noise from lifters, camshafts, or something on top. Is the engine oil pressure light turning on when it makes this noise?

Take a look through this link:

Let me know about the oil pressure at idle.

Take care,

Hi,

It does sound like top end engine noise. Is it louder at the top of the engine near the valve covers? With it running, can you tell approximately where it is coming from on the engine?

Also, even though there is no light coming on, you may want to consider borrowing a mechanical oil pressure gauge from a parts store and check the pressure using it. It will screw into the same location as the electrical one does.

I attached the pressure specs below.

Let me know.
