issues...

I have a 95 tacoma. 3.4 liter v6. After i drive it a couple miles and it warms up, it stats making this loud nose when i give it gas but it doesn't make the nose when its cold. Any ideas on what it might be? ? I can't seem to figure it out...

 

need more info than that. maybe a video or something

 

Kinda forgot to mention it coming from the motor. I recently changed out my valve cover gaskets. Don't think i forgot to plug anything back in cause it ran fine for a couple days. My oil light just recently came on.(flutters at idle). Think oil pressure might have something to do with it since it only does it when its warm?

 

You have checked your oil level right?

 

Yes. Oil is good. Just changed it to make sure. Had a fram oil filter. Thought maybe a faulty oil filter cause i heard Frams garbage so i just went with a bosch one.

 

that oil light fluttering makes me wonder if the oil pump is having issues.

 

I bought a 1993 civic once and the oil light began to go on and off. It would go off when I stepped on the gas but the oil light would go on when idle. I went the easy way first by replacing the oil pressure sensor and the light still went on and off. I pulled my valve cover off found a lot of sludge build up. I then pulled the pan off and found some more sludge. Changed the oil pump, no more light. You said you just changed out your valve cover gasket. What's the condition of your engine? Most likely the oil pump as the light is associated with oil pressure. Bad pump = low pressure.

 

Honestly. It looked good underneath my valve covers. But I'm sure i have allot of sludge built in there. How its not three oil pump. Have to pull out the motor i believe to get to it..

 

Unfortunately the oil pump is not easy to get to. I believe it's behind the crankshaft.
