Re: Clicking in the engine - Where would you look?

Diagnosing noises over the internet is at best, difficult.. "Clicking/clacking" when accelerating.. What happens when the speed levels off?? What you're hearing could be detonation or pre-ignition from excessive ignition timing or compression for the gasoline octane.. Also, could be carbon buildup causing hot spots that pre-ignite the charge. Before you go charging down a rabbit hole, I suggest you take an experienced mechanic for a ride and let him listen to the noise.
