So not to long ago I noticed a weird grunt like noise coming from my Protege and I have no idea what it could be. When Im idling it will grunt a few times every once in a while and my RPMs will raise about 100 or so rpm.
Has this happened to anyone else here?

Edit: Its a 2001 mazda protege ES
heres a video so you can hear it for yourself:

Any help is appreciated :confused:
