ticking from engine

energiesource · July 5th, 2008, 12:07 AM

so i just noticed today parked beside someone that my car is ticking. it goes away if i touch the accelerator, my oil is fine, as for telling you anything else, i dont know.
anyone narrow it down?

energiesource · July 5th, 2008, 01:06 AM

plus i just replaced it last year, it better not fucking be going again

Triple A · July 5th, 2008, 01:11 AM

energiesource · July 5th, 2008, 01:13 AM
