Unhappy Should I be concerned...Please help

Sup guys...This thing has been bothering me for few days now. I have a 94 Transam a4 with about 116594 miles on it. I know about cars but my knowledge is very limited. I got her over the summer and did few major repairs...Opti, Plugs and wires, Egr, Injectors, and tranny flush. But the other day I started up my car and I had the hood open and I was just listening to the engine. And when I got really close to the engine...I heard a tic tic tic tic tic noise, Then I went to the other side and heard the same tic tic tic tic tic noise. I then waited till she warmed up a bit and reved it few times..like up to 3000 and she sounded awesome. So I didn't really worry about it. But I love this car...and it's just been bothering me...so I just wanted to know what you guys think. Also If i punch it from like it picks up really good...from like 2800--6000 u just see her hall ***. She's completely stock. Saving up for some parts...the last guy who had her...didn't do anything but beat on her....please let me know what u guys think...thanx...sorry for the long thread..

The injectors can make a ticking noise and so can a loose spark plug. Check the plugs, if they are tight and the noise is no longer there...........forget about it.

Re: Should I be concerned...Please help

the ticking is probably your injectors. Every LT-1 I've seen has a noisy engine so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sounds like you've already given it a good tune up. Time for some mods!

Your manifold gasket may have a small leak.
