Ticking/Clicking Noise When Accelerating

**tonyboy** · November 18th, 2013 05:30 PM

may naka experience na ba ng ganitong noise. when driving and the gas pedal is pressed there's a faint clicking or ticking noise. i'm not sure lang kung engine related. no noise when parked in neutral or when i try to rev the engine in neutral. no noise din if coasting in neutral. only happens when in gear from 2nd onwards. thanks!

Parang pebbles in a can? Could be detonation or "tope". What car? What fuel do you use? When was the last tune-up? What is your ignition timing setting?

to test kung ignition timing o tope, try to load up on the next higher variant of octane of fuel.

check mo gulong mo. baka may nakasingit lang na maliliit na bato dun sa mga treads.

Kung nasa gulong or brakes, usually consistent yung sound even if he was coasting in neutral, AFAIK.

Direct ignition na yung IDSI engines so no need to adjust timing (wala nang distributor na magagalaw). Next is to load up on the next grade fuel and check your spark plugs. Try also another gas station and fuel brand. In my case, my friend's 2011 City 1.3L was getting a bad case of tope using Petron unleaded (91 octane); she she switched to Shell Fuel Save and the tope went away. I also had the same problem with my Altis on Petron XCS, may tope na lumalabas in the last few months under certain driving conditions. I'm now using Shell Nitro+ and the tope issue went away.
