Ok… here’s the noise I’m getting out of my exhaust. my car is farting “puh puh”. Everything is bone stock on this car. It happens frequently when it’s cold, and than once ever other second when it’s operating temperature. can this be engine valve related.

 

anything...?

 

Usually it has to do with timing. Didnt you just do a valve adjustment? If you didnt have this problem before the adjustment then redo it.

If you had the problem do a tune up.

my car was making this noise before the valve adjustments. the adjusting just made it louder and more noticeable. i wasn't sure so i asked...

 

check to see if you have loose spark plugs. remove each one , check and reinstall. also check for small exhaust leaks.

i'm not leaking any air... my sparkplugs are new. i have yet to check my timing.

 

its fine that your spark plugs are new. the question still becomes, how do you KNOW they are tight? you can ASSUME they are tight because they are new, but then you might as well not even check anything if you don't verify the basics. new spark plugs can loosen because they were not tightened enough or too tight during installation. did you use a torque wrench?
