Always.
Can someone tell me what this plastic cover thing by the throttle is for? I have "a feeling" the slight knocking comes from somewhere there. Not sure... Am I the first/only one that has this problem?!
I have pulled the throttle with my hand but didn't feel anything (engine running). I feel it only if I press the gas pedal.

I have a 97 with that cluster and steering wheel.
the wheel bearings have to be pressed into rear hub if he had brake issues as well they might have replace it as well

I got my car back. The noise is gone and everything, except the brakes, is alright.
One last issue: When I press the gas, I feel some really soft knocking (didn't even notice during the test drive). Has anyone had this before?
The engine runs well and reacts fast when I give gas but it bothers me and I need to find out what it could be. It's also when I idle/stand and give gas and the "knocking" varies when I press the pedal further down, too.
It seems to be a little random and not steadily recurring.
Could it be a belt of some kind? Any ideas?
Thanks.

). Because I felt it in both pedals I am not very worried and it may be a physical design of the pedals. I always fill my car with premium and it is not a knock or a miss, it is to faint and consistant for a car with no CEL's. Maybe we just have very sensitive feet

Thanks, so the cheapest new air mass flow sensor that I found was $178. I was told it's only around 70-80 € in Germany.
How about Chinese knock-offs from ebay? Any good?
Whats the recommended change interval?

I know exactly what you are talking about, it is VERY faint and I feel it usually when I am on the highway with the gas pedal pressed down to keep a consistent speed. I don't know what it is but I think that I also detected it when I kept my foot on the brakes for a consistent slowing from 65mph - 0 (I live in NJ so this is common).
