Clicking sound when accelerating?!?!?

OutKast09 · June 19th, 2009, 04:30 PM

Every time i accelerate i hear this some what mild clicking sound coming from under the hood....is that bad?

Smoke_Dogg · June 24th, 2009, 04:52 AM

Have you checked your belts? Some other causes could be
1) Engine knock due to gas octane rating too low: Use a fuel with a higher octane rating.

2) Air filter clogged: Replace the air filter.

3)Tune-up issue, such as timing set improperly: Check and reset timing as required.

I forgot to check the belt but i use 93 octane now and i changed the air filter 2months ago and i recently had a tune up a few months ago

is under WOT or reg acceleration?

Smoke_Dogg · June 25th, 2009, 09:59 AM

When did you switch to 93? it could take a little time, if that is what was causing it to click. When was the last time you checked your oil or had it changed?

OutKast09 · June 26th, 2009, 05:15 PM

I switched to 93 like 4days ago. and i just changed the oil last month and its under reg acceleration.....and i think i have an exhaust leak also but ima get that takin care us

Smoke_Dogg · June 29th, 2009, 04:10 AM

Just take it in and have them look at the clicking. There are some many things it could be, it may or may not be harmful to your car. Better safe then sorry...

OutKast09 · June 29th, 2009, 08:00 AM

yea ima just take it in 2day

Smoke_Dogg · June 29th, 2009, 09:32 AM

Lets us know what they say.

OutKast09 · June 29th, 2009, 07:59 PM

Im all good to go. the right side exhaust had a bolt missing and it was leaking so they juz put another bolt in it and the car is running just fine now and i can feel the difference in HP from when it was leaking

Smoke_Dogg · June 30th, 2009, 03:27 PM

How much did they charge you for that? At least it was something simple.

OutKast09 · June 30th, 2009, 06:17 PM

they only charged me 45

OutKast09 · June 30th, 2009, 06:17 PM

....and now my timing chain is broke. everything is going wrong

God I hate that

Love/hate relationship with cars

OutKast09 · July 8th, 2009, 12:58 PM

Well guys thanks for all your help but the car killed on me yesterday in the middle of the road. Some one pushed me 2 the mechanic I was goin 2 and I left it there over night so they could check on the problem. They juz called and sayed the clicking sound was actually the motor nocking cuz the oil pump was broke so there was no oil goin through the engine....so long story short my engine is burnt out and I need a whole new engine! But they say they can fix it or get me a new engine so now I gotta find a new engine

Arsenical · July 9th, 2009, 02:57 AM

Ouch man that really really sucks...Are you going to get a new engine or get a new car? If getting a new engine you got a great opportunity to put something beefy back in.

Ether way I feel your pain man, happened with my last car, except my transmission took a sh*t...

Smoke_Dogg · July 15th, 2009, 04:19 AM

That sucks and they didn't find that when they checked it out.

OutKast09 · July 15th, 2009, 10:59 AM

Yea. I finally got to take it up to the shop and then when they checked it that's when they told me that the oil pump was broke and that I needed a whole new engine because it was burnt up
