Check your plug wires and make sure they are all connected. Do you have any enginee codes.
That's where I would start

im having the same issue with my car, people have said it might be an exhaust leak.. but i changed h pipe, and headers. still the same.
one other idea i still havent worked on is that it might be the speedometer cable/ speedometer gear. i have the parts just havent worked on it yet.
another idea was that it might be my tranny fluid being dry, went to jiffy lube.. and it was leveled out. i do gotta say after they checked on my fluid it doesnt do that continous sound anymore, its only when im in first and taking off.. then the sound goes away now.
I have been driving back and forth oakland/ hayward/ hercules with this issue (knock on wood) it hasnt affected anything.. just a scary/ annoying sound.
My description of the sound was that it sounded like a trading card between bike spokes, the higher the rpm, the faster the sound. but when im not in gear it goes away. its like a knocking/ popping sound right?
if you guys ever figure this out PLEASE HELP ME OUT, AND LMK WAHT THE ISSUE WAS.. this is really baffling me too.
THANKS!!!!
