When my 96GT idles at around 1000 RPM the engine makes a "clunking" noise. If I rev it to 1500, it goes away. Has this happened to anyone else? Thoughts?

Clunking?

Does it sounds like rocks in a spray paint can?

a video or soundclip would help immensely. "clunk clunk clunk" isnt very descriptive

Bad belt tensioner, I might be wrong on the part name. Start the car, look on the belt pulley below the AC Compressor, you should see the tensioner "bouncing" and it is likely hitting the front timing cover.
