Our gremlin infested backup bus is holding a charge and starting now, but when I took a few minutes out of my schedule today to crank her up, I heard a new noise. Sigh…
Considering that the gremlins had previously dis-assembled the belts, I honed in on that area and the thump thump certainly seems to be coming from there. After the engine warmed up and the idle dropped, so did the speed of the thump.
At least I have it documented here and I’ll send this post to my son (the automotive genuis) and to our maintenance department.
Update: Riley thinks it may be a bad A/C clutch…
