Clicking noise

I don't know, maybe i'm just paranoid, but when my car's at idle i'm noticing a almost clicking noise... maybe 5 clicks a second.. ish....
I thought maybe it's my valves but not too sure.
I just recently noticed it though. Might have been there all along. anyone know what it might be? if so should i be worried or is it normal.

I don't have an answer for you, but I think that mine does the same thing. I usually hear it only at idle. Like you said, five clicks or so over a second or two.

I've never been able to track it down though. I thought maybe something was arcing, but I've checked at night, numerous times, and nada...

No. Like I said, I only notice it at idle. I've given it gas from under the hood and don't notice the clicking...

mine started doing it (or i started noticing it) after I put one of those fuel system cleaner things they sell at autozone in my gas tank to "clean my injectors" and stuff.

It annoyed me so much...but now I don't hear it as much anymore. Maybe I have just started to tune it out.
