Default I have a ticking problem.

I have a 01 mustang gt 4.6L with overhean cams 5 speed.. Its been making a ticking sound when when in gear and driving down the road at a steady speed. when out of gear and you rev it at first it ticks but goes away. But in gear and driving it ticks as fast as you go. Also when you try and get on it the car will bog down then take off like a bat out of hell. Someone please help me with this. Im hoping its an injector problem but not sure im not a mechanic. But I can replace stuff and fix it if it sounds like something small. Thanks for any info.

Also its been doing this for 2 months. Its not getting any better but its not getting worse either. I do know its not an exhaust leak. cause when i rev it when its sitting still is doesnt tick at all.

My car had a ticking to it and ended up blowing the plug out of the head. Must say after I got that fixed the tick went away. Check to make sure all of your plugs are tight for what it's worth.
