Well the burbling could be the antifreeze moving throughout the block, thermostat etc. after the car is shut down. Peace

Sounds like either an exhaust leak around the headers maybe (stock header gaskets are notorious for warping and causing leaks). Or it could be some loose rockers. I had a ticking from both driver and passenger sides near the back of the motor, and when I tore the valve covers off doing my h/c/i swap, I had 5 loose rockers, 3 on the drivers side, and 2 on the passenger side. The gurgling is probably just the coolant settling in the block. What do you mean by it's not running right?

when i say not running right it idles as if it has a cam and it sounds like a lawnmower when u give it gas sounds like its not running and feelslike its not on all cylinders.. the motors got alot of vibration sometimes it will run back to normal ifu rev it and then all cylinders will kick to normal if that makes sense.. but yeah any suggestions?? :damnit:

Have you pulled the codes? A bad MAF can cause erratic problems with idle and revving and overall drivebility. Trust me, I've on my 4th one.
Pull the codes and see what's up, you could have a bad sensor somewhere.CManT1914 said:Have you pulled the codes? A bad MAF can cause erratic problems with idle and revving and overall drivebility. Trust me, I've on my 4th one.

The computer can throw codes that won't trip the CEL. Just cause the light isn't on doesn't mean you don't have codes stored. I asked the exact same question last summer when I was having problems.
Guys at Autozone can be jerks when it comes to pulling codes on an OBD1 car. If they don't wanna do it for you, just buy one at www.midwayautosupply.com. I'll get a link for you and post it in a few.

The cam sound is probably a vacuum leak somewhere, check your PCV valve to make sure it's in, and if you haven't changed the screen, grommet, and valve in a long time change them, it's only bout $20 total from Ford. The vibration almost sounds like a harmonic balancer, mine acted as you said when mine went out, it would vibrate like crazy at certain speeds, but if I accelerated it would decrease and then stop. I changed the balancer and all was well after that. Also, the ticking could be an exhaust leak like Chris said, get out your wrench and check all the header bolts.

the pcv valve and gromet and screen? those all come w/ it when u buy a pcv valve? or all seperate things? hmm.. i can see a bit of rubber coming out where the harmonic balancer is.. but its like a little bit not a lot of rubber.. i dunno but that may be the prob.. i hope it is
