Hello, need some help identifying an issue. I have been plagued with this issue for over a year and no luck locating the source of the problem.
I have a 96 LX450 with a weird slapping sound in the front end of engine on startup. It lasts for a few seconds then dissappears, only happens when vehicle is parked for a few days. I feel like it has something to do with the oil delivery. But I am not certain. The sound is random not consistent. No performance issues. Drives fine, no engine vibration. No check engine light. I have tried using a stethoscope but no luck.
But before I go into further detail. How do I post a video file so you guys can listen in on the sound.
