Hey guys.
Just then when i drove my car home, every time i took it above around 3k - 3.5k rpm I started to hear a mix between a scraping/rushing air noise. I have had noises in the past that have come and gone but this one is a bit different.
Once vtec engages, it either goes away or my engine drowns it out. I cant really tell if ive lost power because i was probably sub consciously going a bit easier.
It sounds like it is coming from the engine bay. Oh and once i got home there was a fairly strong smell of fuel. I'm not sure if that was just because i was giving it a little bit or if its related to the issue.
So, anyone able to diagnose? Am i worrying about a noise that doesnt matter?
Thanks in Advanced.
(I have had some thoughts like the clutch or maybe a gasket has died somewhere?)
