Its my wifes Mustang and she isnt car smart. She bought a new car in July and so we parked the Mustang for a month or more until we decided what we wanted to do with it. When I attempted to drive it to work one morning I noticed a distinct valve clattering that I had never heard before. I circled home and parked the Mustang and drove my truck as usual. I thought it might be the A/C compressor clutch dragging but upon removal of the wiring to the compressor I discovered that the clutch rotated with little if any resistance.  After an oil and filter change and an inspection of the overall condition of the engine I am stumped. I drove it around the neighborhood yesterday and the clatter appears at the slightest of accelerator application. Im a vintage Mustanger so Im stumped at what could be the issue. I had an SN95 buddy tell me it could be a bent pushrod. Ive got an appointment with her mechanic to do a diagnostic on it. Your speculation is welcome.</p></blockquote><p></p>
