anyone ever had acceleration clicking noises?

took my car to dealership yesterday, because my engine had this annoying clicking noise everytime I rapidly step on the pedal and accelerate. this noise would only appear for about 1 sec. then it disappears. then I accelerate again it would be there agian for like 1 sec. and disappears again. Did anyone ever had this problem? Please let me know. thanx

that's what i was thinking- bad gas or lower octane than you should have. or, depending in mileage- might be carbon build up on the piston tops. both could cause the noise you are talking about (spark knock/detonation).

not necessarily- spark knock IS detonation. it doesn't exactly mean the plugs are the problem.

i'm also not sure spark knock is the original poster's problem- just a suggestion/the first thing that came to mind.
