Hello ,
My 2001 XJ (4.0L I6), started making a really loud racket during cold starts every morning before work recently. When the jeep first fires up, it sounds like its knocking. However as soon as I give it some gas it goes away and is gone for the rest of the day. I have eliminated the possibility of rod knock as it immediately goes away. Oil pressure on the jeep is also fine.
I am thinking that it is possibly my flex plate on the way out. However, all the flex plate trouble shooting threads I've read have talked about a constant noise that doesnt go away. Is there something else I could be overlooking?
Thanks in advance for any advice / input
