Strange motor clatter?

My '93 Grand Am V6 SE (183k miles) is making a strange knocking crash. I have taken the Serpentine belt rotten and determined that it is coming from the crankshaft wheel. The vehicle is well maintain; regular oil change, tune ups, etc. The noise seem to get smaller amount noticeable when the Air conditioner is running or i put the motor in dull, also it doesn't appear to be there when driving at a speed of 30 mph or highly developed, but comes back as soon as I stop. Has anyone else experienced this and know what could be causing it?

How do i put a push start...



Answers:    Red77 is correct it's call a harmonic balancer and it is breaking up and causing the rumbling. all you enjoy to do is replace what you would call the crankshaft pulley.

What's the price of a timing belt...


if my suspecions are correct you might enjoy to start to shop around for new motor or a new motor. this could be a spun crankshaft deportment or rods are starting to knock. try using a thick grease next time you do an grease change similar to 10W 40. its a high mileage engine and it probably of late needs a re viscous grease
