i've had a ticking sound coming from my motor, and havent been able to determine what it was, even after reading so many different threads. today i popped the hood, and started the car up to see if i could tell where it's coming from. well, i noticed quickly that it is coming from the # 1 piston, and you can see the aluminum piece of the coil wire like jumping everytime you hear the sound. when i pushed the coil wire tightly onto the spark plug, the sound went away. what could cause this to be jumping like this?

luckily it was a very cheap fix...... come to find out, one of my spark plugs was very loose, i tightened it down, and the sound has went away....might be something to check for some of you guys with the same sound.

Funny, I had that same problem right after my header install, I thought it was a bad exhaust leak but the #8 plug was just loose, you could just grab it and move it around in the hole.. Big relief. I also got my car tuned with the loose spark plug, I put down 326/338 as my baseline and 332/351 after the tune, both sae corrected. Could the loose spark plug have caused my low numbers or even given me a bad tune?
