ticking sound.....

[billytheman1188]

ok....so this happened yesterday. I didnt realize it till i left the gas station and it got me paranoid cause i just put in this bottle of stuff for the gas....its supposed to clean the system some. but as i push the pedal down farther, the ticking sound goes faster. if i accelerate slowly it doesnt make a very loud sound. WTF IS THIS!? anybody have any ideas? it only does it when its in drive, i tried reving my engine in park and it doesnt make the sound....only under acceleration.

or a nail or a tack.... i know this and it seems logical..... or you just want to put billy in denial

my buddy tom was saying it could be some sediment that got knocked loose and everytime the injector closes it makes that sound. cause i think it started doing it after i put that gas cleaner in..... does that sound right to any of you gear heads? haha

He said if it doesnt go away in a couple hundred miles then i have an issue.

If it doesn't go away in a couple hundered miles you could have a bigger issue. I noticed a tick on mine one day and decided to check the oil and I was more then a quart low.

yea....mine was about a quart low when i last changed my oil. does anybody know why the hell our cars burn oil?!

[billytheman1188]

how can nobody else on this site not know what it could be!? idk, i will wait a few days to see if it goes away....in the mean time i will contact my mechanic and see what he thinks

[billytheman1188]

my mechanic said its an exhaust leak..... most likely at the rear header. i will need to change the gasket for it to stop. which i dont do cause idk how to, and i dont want to pay for it cause labor is gonna be crazy. this sucks though, my car is gonna tick all the time now:( i did get the green stuff put in though:coolio:

Exhaust leak doesn't seem right.
Car louder or just tick noise?
Can't it be the valves or springs or something.

[billytheman1188]

my friend said it could be a leak letting me hear the exhaust valve hit the seat.......

idk, i asked my mechanic if its ok to drive and he said yea. seeing as im gonna be driving her over 1,000 miles soon.....
