valve tapping/knocking? engine light on
#1
![Cool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif)
I recently was told that I have a valve tapping, if you put your hand over the vavle when the engine is on you can feel that the middle valve is messed up says one. Yesterday I was driving and then the engine light came on and the car just started to boggin out and someone asked if i had an exhaust leak because it sounded like the exhaust was popping/studdering when I reved it up. Does anyone know what is wrong. Mind you the valve noise has been going on for one year and i never had anything but premium gas and no water damage. The only mod is an intake to the engine. I change my oil and filter every 3k miles with mobile one synthetic. Please help!!
My car is an 05 with 49k miles.

o Are you the original owner? If so, did this develop slowly or suddenly and if suddenly, what did you do to bring this about?
o Do you hear the sound at all normal engine speeds?
o Do you hear any sort of rattling coming from the engine area, kind of like keys rattling in a can?
Definitely either buy a hand-held diagnostic code reader or have your codes read to see what gives.

Glad it was something as simple as that.
