    Here is the video. You might have to raise the volume to hear the ringing/rattle noise...

    Ya, but there are no codes being thrown anymore. Like tom4bren said, if they're bad they'll remain bad, can't fix them. If thats the case the codes should still show up. But the codes are gone. =/

    I have replaced the hose and seems a little better, I went ahead and replaced the FPR cause the old one looked pretty dirty and old inside.
    As far as O2 sensors go, the codes aren't showing up anymore. Engine light has went off.

    I'll try that here soon.

    As the engine light comes on then off, done it twice already and its been off(throwing O2 sensor code)... can it be the O2 sensors at all? Judging from tom's post... Also, we did an oil change and oil filter change as we changed the hose and FPR... When we tested it, I don't know if it was my excessive concentrating but I think I heard knocking or clicking in the engine.

    not sure what kind of noise youre getting on decel. many have reported a whining sound from the front diff under those circumstances, maybe check levels there

    I might be way off base with this, but.... could the "errrr" sound be coming on when the A/C fan kicks in? When mine does (off and on more than I like) my engine does sound different.

    No, this noise sometimes stays on while driving in first through second gears. Sometimes making the engine sound REALLY loud inside the car. Not revving loud but like... ITS LOUD.. lol But if it doesn't stay on it always comes back on when it decelerates to its idle rpm - 1100 rpm. I was thinking its the A/C compressor. But when I turn it on it kinda sounds louder, don't know ... ergh....

    Other times it tickles on and off. Kinda like..

    Err... then Normal, errr, then normal... ERRRRRRRRRRRR, then normal... ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... intermittently...

    Check your surpentine belt tensioner and idler pulleys. That sounds a lot like mine did, and the bearing in the tensioner were destroyed. If it fails while driving you'll have a real mess on your hands.

    2 possible issues to consider:

    There is a nut that sometimes works itself loose just underneath the EGR valve which is located on the top left of the engine.

    When the alternator bearing is going out on VX's it starts to whine with the engine on and sometimes chirps upon start up. Then when the AC is on it gets louder especially when the steering is turned. Which leads some people to think this is the AC or the steering bearings but in fact is the alternator.

    X2...this is just what happened to me a few months ago when my tensioner let go. I was blessed to be only a few blocks from the house and got it home and fixed the next day.
