Has anyone experienced engine ticking that increases as you accelerate? Sounds like when you put baseball cards between your bicycle spokes. Is that engine knocking? I know my #2 cylinder is pretty weak.

As long as it increases with speed and not only uder a load, I think Cherokeekid4x4 is on the right track.

By under a load, what do you mean? In park or just stopped its slow enough as to Where I could snap my fingers in between each tick. As I apply the gas it rapidly increases. Anyway to test those theories?
