    I have recently heard a strange noise intermittently coming from the engine on my 2000 GT. It almost sounds like what you'd hear if you rattled a chain around...not sure if it's great to drive it like that, but it's my only car. Opinions?

    Need to be a little more descriptive of when it happens. At idle, in gear, while driving, with A/C on or off???

    Sounds like the clutch on the a/c compressor.

    We need more info.

    Possibles that I see:
    AC bearings
    Piston rod to crank bearings
    Flexplate cracking
