hey guys just lookin for some advice, thismornin i went to warm my car up b4 i left for work and i noticed

1... the engine started knockin a little, it went away after about 10 seconds, not sure if its just cos its really cold or whatever, but it stoped, was only brief

2... when i hoped in the car and pressed on the accelerator pedal, i noticed it was makin an electric noise, kind of like when ya tunin in a radio, or the feedback you get through your car speekers, but it was only when the accelerator was touched and then stoped once the reves dropped back down to idling revs, and it wasnt coming from the speekers, any ideas guys

yeah its really hart to xplain it, the noise is like. arghhh i cant explain it, it only come on to the revs of the car, and whilst idling its normal, but when reved it goes to the revs of the engine, its a real high freqincy pitched noise the sort you get in shity old cars comin through the speekers, i dono might just get it looked at because its to hard to explain, could be normal for all i know but it seems to only of come up today

i just noticed i can only hear it when the doors open, and when the engine bay is open i cant really hear it over the engine, sounds like more under the car,, could it be the fuel pump pumpin fuel since it only comes on once foot it put down, it may be pumping more fuel down to compensate to the presure on the pedal, hense why its making the noise when pedal put down, its got me &*^%ed

    • Yeah. OK. I'll say the same thing I say to everyone. You do not have to use 100% throttle all the time.

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
