Im getting this tick starting from 2600-2800 rpms and higher. It gets louder as the rpm increases. Its not lifter tick, replaced them with good ones and still the same. Heard a bad timing tensioner can cause this, (mine had 30k miles) so i replaced belt and tensioner. Noise it still there.
There is no obvious noise below 2500 rpms. And it only appears under acceleration. I can tap on the gas pedal and the tick will appear and as soon as i let go of the pedal, it goes away.
I first noticed this noise when i switched over to e85 (when i ran out i went back to 91) and the noise stayed. (bosh 1000cc injectors)
First i feared rod knock/piston slap, but theres no noise at idle or if i leave it on neutral and accelerate all the way to 5k. You can not hear anything. Ive tried lifting the car on all 4, and putting it in neutral and accelerating in gear, and no noise.
This tick is causing my knock sensor to go crazy while im cruising. I can not figure it out. Maybe injectors?
