Re: Any idea
is it a knock or a ticking sound? could be an injector or valve clatter. try switching to 5W-30.
Re: Any idea
if it starts acting weird while driving stop driving it immediately. there's a lot that can go wrong in the valve train.
if you can get a video of it doing it then maybe we can come to a better diagnoses. is
if im not mistaken the owners manual on a 2002 gt states that 5w30 weight motor oil should be used. yanceys on the ball on this one

Re: Any idea
Has your car ever had the TSB applied to it that addresses the valve guide issue on these years of 2V's? I never got it done to mine, but it might have something to do with it.Might have a lash adjuster bleeding down as well. They work alot like the older hydraulic lifters, If I remember correctly.
