hummmm, please help
hey guys,

there is a strange "clicking" noise comming from my engine bay. i just noticed it today. when i got home tonight i noticed that it speeds up with my throttle.

so i opended the hood. and the noise is comming from (well it sounds like it is comming from) near the throttle body and the right rear of the air intake but below it all. here is a pick look at the RED arrows and disreguard the yellow squares.

Mark

PLEse HELP!

Sounds like lifters ticking. Not sure but I think they have adjustable shims. They may need to be adjusted.
