Hi guys, my ‘95 GT 5.0 was stolen 2 weeks ago, so I just bought an ‘02 V6 with a weird 1 knock sound. It happens at random, driving fast or slow. It sounds just like a rock hitting a windshield, but the sound comes from the area between the windshield and drivers window. I hear it every time I drive, sometimes once other times 2-3 during a trip. Anybody know what causes it? Or heard of it happening? Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like an IMRC module. The arms that bolt to the back of the lower intake manifold can come loose . If you look between the firewall and engine you can see the module . Check out this YouTube for great Essex support and information! https://youtube.com/channel/UC6isMWh-tJTOy8WqwMSK5LA

Your right it’s the IRMC. There’s a TSB on it, it’s TSB 7-16-17. Thanks

Oh yeah BTW…. my ‘95 GT was found a week after I originally posted. The whole time I kept questioning ‘why can’t the cops find a purple with silver ghost flames’ check out the ‘before’ and ‘after’ stolen pix attached. The close up is more true to the real color (it was).
