I notice this constant knocking sound in the engine bay and it happens sometimes only when in idle or atleast the sound is not loud enough for me to hear when the car is moving
I have an engine light code reading for the cats but it wasnt showing any other codes last time I checked
I had a code for knock sensor before and when I replaced it the code went away so I dont think and I hope this sound isnt actually engine knocking
Heres a sound clip of the sound

Any ideas?

You guys were right
It was this fuel vapor feed broken off where the hose connects
(pic borrowed from another post)
Sounds like a quick DIY fix, thanks alot guys![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Btw, what does this piece do? It seems like its a hollow piece of plastic with nothing inside....

Nice call man!!! When I got my motor mounts done it was one of the best things I've ever done to my car, DO IT NOW IF U HAVENT, it even took out ALOT of the vibration at 60 mph, no more car shaking and steering wheel vibrations at red lights, the first week I got it done I hade to look down and see if my car was running it was so smoothe and quiet... Lol left foot brake, right foot gas, rev and get the car to jerk a little, my motor was flying out the engine bay it was a very scary sight, u can mess your tranny up if u ride like that for too long also..
