Well, why not update? Here goes... The ticking is loud loud louder than it ever has been. Its embarrassing to drive through a parking lot in fact... I wonder if theres some kind of an exhaust hanger there on the right fenderish area, or something like that? Strange...

Frustrated... I also have a constant rattle when I accelerate that used to only happen on hard acceleration, I'm sure its related to my idle tick. Maybe the same thing. Who knows, exhaust or something, a hanger? I'm giving up.

The rattle on acceleration sounds identical to detonation (pebbles in a can) but I'm sure thats not it since its ALWAYS there on acceleration, hot or cold, hard accel or not, any and all times, and my plugs always look good when I pull them.

I know you guys have nothing left for me but I figure i'll keep this thread updated.
