Last night on my way home from work something broke in my engine. I have a 98 GT. It sounds like it's coming from the top of the passenger side cylinder head. The sound is like a really, REALLY loud tapping sound. The car runs but the idle is really low and when it happened, the rpms would hang around 1800-2000 when I pulled in to my drive way. It happened when I was 2 blocks from my house. I heard a faint snap/pop sound and then the constant loud tapping sound.
The car came with a limited power-train warranty so I'm going to have the dealer look at it but does anyone have any suggestions what it could be? I know the 5.0 engines pretty well but the 4.6 is all new to me. I haven't really worked on them before. I tried the search function but nothing helpful came up. Thanks for any input
