Lightbulb Re: LT5 INTERNAL NOISE

Just went to an event this weekend and experienced the rattle & miss as described by tomtom72. Seems when it's warmed up it I get the miss and the rattle/knock starts. I trailered the car home in fear of losing the engine. It seems quite likely it could be the primary injectors going screwy since we just did a detail on the car and there was water going where it shouldn't have been - possibly doing something to the injector coils?

After the engine cooled after the event the car started fine and ran great for about 5 minutes (to the diner) - then it started again. To me this rules out rod knock and seems more ignition - temperature sensitive. When the truck and trailer arrived, car started fine to load it on the trailer, so I let run till operating temperature - then it started again.

My next step is to do a scan - thanks tomtom72 for your wisdom and experince. I love my car with 67,000 miles and hope I can get it running strong soon.
