Hi guys,

Volvo 240 '92

I've got this sound that happens only when I accelerate the car. When it's cruising, no sound. When it's enough gas to just keep the speed, no sound. When it's in neutral, and I gas I get it for a second, then it stops. When I gas it, loud, consistent noise. Sounds like a lawn mower or a tractor or something like that. Like a harley . . . ?

Again, I've searched around but I've had a hard time pin pointing the type of noise I'm hearing. I don't think it sounds like a "ping;" it sounds more like a lawn mower. I hear it coming from the hood when I'm driving, and if I have the window's down, then I can hear it reflecting back from Interstate walls for example.

I drove it from Upstate NY to DC with this condition, so it doesn't seem like an acute issue. Kind of like a muffler problem or something?

Anyway: Can I check the computer to pinpoint it? I've looked at the Haynes book and can't quite see the exact problem.

Any thoughts?
