Sharp noise from under hood

Asked by heinzq May 28, 2020 at 03:47 PM about the 1999 Toyota RAV4 4 Door

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Loud noise from my 1999 RAV4 , under the hood. the noise like "kong
...kong..", when switch to P and N, it becomes louder and higher pitch.
Immediately as soon as the engine starts, in parking or while driving. Shortly
after I can feel vibration or shaking. It sounds very scary. Wonder what could
be the reason and if it's still worthy to repair.

Thanks you

You'll have to open the hood while the engine is running to determine where the noise is going from. We aren't there. But I would think it would be worth to repair unless it's a major component like the engine itself.
