Ticking or chattering on acceleration
Ok folks, just had an oil change and now I have a ticking/chattering noise on acceleration. Any ideas, crusing no noise, acceleration or load = ticking noise

Cheers in advance

Rob

idle is still smooth though. I would have thought it would be rough with a duff plug.

Indeed, check the plugs. I just did the tap/insert dance with my 4.6 after the #3 plug blew out.

do the removal tools actually work or is it a head off job?

It doesn't mean the plug is broken, just loose and ready to pop out.

ah, having taken the big girl for a drive it does sound like a manifold leak or compression escaping via a loose plug. Further investigation required me thinks.
