its an automatic by the way...? i recently bought it by the way... but a week later( and now i was not hot roding it ) it has this tapping sound. it doesnt seem to be comming from the top of the engine tho. its a dohc zetec. it sounds like its coming from the front or side of the engine further down.. i have really good hearing so it paranors me... its really quite but it gets faster when i give it throttle so ya.. and its always on... i know you really cant give me much since your not hear listening to it but any ideas would be helpful. i have like 300 more miles on my warranty that doesnt include wear repairs.. would this be covered?
