Strange noise coming from engine bay?

[ZedClampet]

There are no parts left in the car. The engine was completely rebuilt. All suspension parts, etc. have been removed. There's literally nothing there. After rebuilding the engine, did all the test drive/test track/all diagnostics. Still have one item it says I haven't discovered. How is that possible?

Part missing completely?

Check the fuel pump. Yes I know it's not in the engine bay.

Hamsters

Perhaps ECU or fuse. Not sure how these components might result on strange noises but if the engine itself's alright, might be something else outside the engine.

Also try Steering Rack

What he said.

Also, make sure to check the air filter, air filter base, and air filter cover.

Did you take apart the multi-part shock absorbers? Did you really remove all parts from the car? I once had to rebuild a car twice because the base of the fuse box was bad. Did you replace bad parts with the minimum quality new parts? Just something to think about...

Running gear faults. Rebuilt the whole car just to find out it was a bushing. See that running gear one and I check all the bushings.

Clutch as well can cause it. Take off the gearbox and check.

Well... believe it or not, a faulty air intake box can cause a 'strange noise' in the engine bay. Be sure you take apart the air box and check it.

Have you checked the air filter base, took the engine out and all suspensions in the front just to find out it was a bad air base filter box.

I know, right?! I just didn't respond but, that's what I was thinking, lol. It's like... I'm sure the OP of the thread figured out their issue a LONG time ago or else, they'd still be asking for help most likely.

I have the same issue, e.g., so please continue replying if you know something which might help

Well, the answer for this particular case was a faulty air filter box. Your situation maybe different. You should probably start your own thread... unless your job order is exactly the same as the one described in this thread. Otherwise, having your own thread, you could list all the details of the job order, car make / model, story order or regular order, what are the main components listed as faulty--not a detailed list of part by part but, instead just which part of the drivetrain the job is dealing with. All these details might give some clue as to which part is your issue.
