Hi all, I was wondering if any other owners had this worry. Only on hot days and when the engine is hot I hear a slight tapping from the engine when I'm in 4th or overdrive ( auto trans. ) and taching about 2000 or less and give the throttle a light but steady acceleration. It's only for a second or two, but I sure don't like it. I got two more months for the 12/12 warranty and I'm taking it to the dealers even though the check engine light has never come on or the preformance has not been affected!

I think it's a ping you're hearing. A couple of ideas: 160 thermostat SLP Fan switch Reset the PCM

My third gen. Camaro (305 LG4) had these symptoms due to faulty/dirty EGR valve, though usually more in cooler weather: slight pinging when torqued in higher gears. My $0.02.

Hi all, thanks for the tips. My SS is in the dealers right now being worked on. The mechanic ( who owns an SS ) thinks it might be a trans problem. Needless to say, I'm waiting right by my phone. I'll let you know what the out-come is in case someone else runs into this problem. Posts: 60 | From: Ellicott City, Md. | Registered: Mar 2002
