I had what sounded like a cat meowing under the hood one AM on one of my Fords… sure enough, there was a kitten sitting on the air filter housing.

Toyota and fanboys say that noise is normal. On a Ford not sure.

Thanks! I read some chatter of VVTI cam gear and catastrophic failure. It does sound like my noise. So…..just drive and pretend all is good??? Appreciate the advice

Ok. Still very random and even seemed much better and further apart until this morning. Not cold (50 degrees). Last week I Changed my VVT oil solenoid / control valves as a last ditch effort and also switched to a “Tacoma oil forum” recommended Mobil 1 Extended Performance along with staying with the OEM Toyota filter. One week after, I get this same rattle, but it doesn’t fade and go away on its own. I simply turned off the key. Then restarted with ZERO noise. Which now makes me wonder if something is sticking, hanging up, possible starter solenoid hanging, or the pin in the VVT finally sticking?? Is it my oil change, I’m still with 0W20 full synthetic?? I still think it sounds in the top end. But this is the first time that it seemed that it would not stop on its own. It stayed solid until I turned the key off. Then not a peep on an immediate re-start. Any other advice? TIA

You might have better luck in the 3rd gen section, a lot of people will see this is the first gen section and assume you’re talking about a 3rz, which is quite different.
