    cars got 102,000 miles its been warmed up for about 10 minutes.

    i talked to a friend and he had the same exact sound coming from his engine (i saw a video) he told me the cause was because the ignition coil was coming loose which would make sense beause my after market tach has been giving off extremely inaccurate readings... ill have it checked out.

    i highly doubt that seeing as how the sound is coming from the spark plug not inside the engine. I have Pulstars. Noise went away after some tinkering but comes back. Back to OEM i go :rolleyes:

    Lose spark plug? You definitely have knocking. Izzfe's knock when they are going bad. I hear it on almost all old corollas whenever it's started up next to me.

    the 1zzfe was an experimental engine. it wasnt perfected on the 8th gen and they frequently go bad.
