I've noticed a ticking noise in my car when I accelerate harder than normal. It doesn't tick at idle from what I've heard. And when you go WOT you can't hear it.


Its had an oil change within the last 1500 miles. And its not low on oil.


My guess was lifters or possibly an exhaust leak. I've also heard it could be a fueling issue or a loose spark plug. It had a new fuel pump installed and I plan on replacing the plugs, wires, and fuel filter soon.


Anyone else had this problem?

It's probably an exhaust leak...

 

I'd say exhaust leak, if it was lifters you'd probably be able to notice it under the hood. More load means more exhaust pressure, must be a small leak.

 

Thanks for the help guys!!!
