my baby is clicking...
hi all, i know its been a while.....i've moved to another location and didn't have the net for a while...but yeah, i'm back up now and u should see me around...
with that said i've been having an issue with my car. I noticed it one night while driving around philly....usually from a stop {or in first gear} when you put a quick load on the car, and then stop accelerating {or quickly tap the gas while in a gear (as you would to rev the engine if u were in park)} after you take your foot off the gas you'll hear a click sound. I let my dad hear it and he said it could either be electical {like spark plugs} or metallic {anything}....so any ideas what could be making that sound?
thanks

i'll have to check both of those out today. Its not consistent, so its hard to tell when & what may be causing it....i doubt its the compressor, cuz i haven't run the A/C lately with gas like it is....plus its been nice out
but yeah. i'll check those out today and keep you posted

maybe you got some slack in your drive train. i would start with checking your motor and tranny mounts, maybe even looking at the cv shafts. do you hear any thing when you turn? like a cv joint making noise?

i don't hear any noises when i turn, but there is a terrible clanking of metal when I hit a bump, i know something is loose in my suspension, but the other sound is def coming from the engine. Next chance i get i'm gonna put the car in drive with the E-brake on while pressin the gas and have someone look at the engine and see if any sparks are flying {if i can get it to "click"}

Highly unlikely....but could be ball joints too. But I'm gonna call a weaking/bad trans mount on this one.
