sometimes when i start my car, it makes almost like a sound of a bell. if im driving in fifth gear and put it to the floor, it make the noise, picture the sound of jingle bells and thats wut it sounds like. srry if this is not a good enough explanation, any help appreciated. also the sound is deffinetly somthing in the motor, sounds more like in the head.

 

maybe it is pinging...need better gas and timing adjustment.

 

wut does pinging come from?? thx

 

combustion of air and fuel before it should. Early detonation.
You can't always trust Wiki, but it's correct on this matter

or possibly a bad motor mount hitting metal to metal.

 

in for heat shield on exhaust

 

jingle bells are pretty high pitched...
