Bad strange noise form engine
My engine or trans is making a nose that sounds sorta like a pot that is engaged I took the belt off and still makes the noise
The noise goes away at 1200 rpm and has got louder in the last day just started yesterday
Any ideas?

5 speed transmission? If so and you have a single mass flywheel, gear rollover from the transmission. If it's a 5 speed with the stock dual mass flywheel, it's probably ready to grenade. If it's an auto, not sure what to tell you. lol

As far as the fuel filter lid, how high fuel pressure you have? I've heard of that with higher pressures (around 75 or a little more). It's gonna be really hard to guess at that noise without a video for me. If the noise goes away with rpms, you can bet its not internal like you're worrying about. It would get worse in that case.

Get a piece of garden hose. Hold to your ear and locate the sound that way.
Then get back with us on what you find.

Do you have the stock DP or a good DP, it could be loose or touching the firewall just a guess.
