95Stealth302

If you have every heard one of those old ford trucks or broncos driving, you can sometimes notice this grandiose ticking when they get on the gas or even just cruising. It happens to me as well, not really loud, but I can hear it in the lower RPMs when cruising, expecially in 5th at around 50 if i give it gas.Is this that my lifters need adjustment or what? Need some insight, Mdval, Vfast, or Nostang.

vfast

could be a few things..exhaust leak,throw out bearing, or rockers plus a few more..check for a header leak first...check oil level and so on

vfast

make sure you don't have a rock or nail in your tire?...have seen this to..

Nope not rock in tire, and everything checks out in terms or throwout bearing and exhaust. How do I adjust rockers and lifters?

VicsGT

I have the EXACT same thing going on.

vfast

are you sure this is where it's coming from?...I think you have some ping'in going on...put some 93 in the tank and let me know...

I had this same problem... I had a plug that was loose...

No plugs are loose, I only use premium, and its not a ping or knock i dont think, just changed plugs and wires and distributor and stuff, but the engine is getting way to much fuel currently, which may be a case for uneven combustion, we'll see if a new TPS fixes it, but otherwise, could it be the lifters?

I had a similar problem when I first baught my 95gt, turns out that the guys I baught it from started putting 87octane in when the prices went up. Buy some 92 and some octane boost. This also happened to me when one of my fuel injectors got dirty, just get some cleaner.

BG Products has a great injection cleaner it's not cheap but works great
