Hi,

I recently had issues with P1320 code, and after replacing a bad ignition coil by a local auto mechanic, the CEL went away. While changing the one bad ignition coil, he also changed all the spark plugs.

However, after driving for about 1000 miles, I started hearing this noise which is persistent, and I’m hesitant to drive it further without knowing if driving in this condition would cause any further damage.

Appreciate if anyone can point what could be going wrong here for this noise. I tried to attach the video I captured, but couldn’t. I can send it if anyone is interested.

Thanks,  
KTR

You haven’t described any noise at all…you just told us there was a noise. Savvy?

+1 Also decribe when it happens, while driving, in park, gets louder when picking up speed, gets louder when sitting still revving the engine, etc.

Or just turn your radio up.
