OK so just a few days ago my car decided to not idle correctly. I tested the ISC and two of the coils are bad. Before that the car ran fine. Well today I had to go to school and when I left this morning I could barley make it up the hill. Well when I start to go the clicking gets really loud!! When I was idling it sounds like I'm some diesel jetta or something. I looked at my wide band when trying to accelerate it starts to lean out a little then when I start to boost it goes normal, but getting in to boost just makes the clicking get louder and it doesn't feel right. So I guess my question is could the ISC motor stick open and cause clicking and a boot leak. I tried searching but no one seemed to have the bad clicking noise.
 
Going out on a limb here, but clicking that sounds like a diesel can indicate dry or very leaky hydraulic lifters. If that's the case, the noise is caused by basically free play in the valve lift system. Is your oil topped up?
 
What does the clicking sound like exactly, are you sure its lifters. Does the sound get louder with rpms.

it dosent get louder with rpm but it does get faster. And I noticed after running my car for a while (when it was working) and letting it sit for an hour or so Under the car in the middle, right where the 2 sections of my exhaust meet, there is a puddle of gas(E-85). should not have bought crappy group sale injectors :ohdamn:
