Just finished my plugs/wires,,, and !AIR mod. Very happy I finished the plugs and wires,, it wasn't the most fun thing to do,, but it is done! At first start-up the idle was a little rough,, but over a few minutes it got better. As soon as I left the driveway and gave it some throttle I started to hear a ticking sound. The more throttle I gave it the louder and faster the ticking sound got. I know all my plugs are tight. Wires are on good. I checked all of that. Is there anything else that I maybe forgot with the !AIR mod? My ride is a 2000 TA. Maybe something else should be done for that year? All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ttt, I did searches and the only thing I could find is that maybe there is a leak in my block off plates,, but I don't think there is,, (rtv sealant was used)

I had the same sound after my install I just used double gaskets on the blockoff plate and it was gone.

I didn't actually use any gaskets,, just the RTV sealant. 2 morrow I'll go and pick up some materials and go for the fix... Any other opinions on the prob????

From your first post stating you checked the wires and plugs again, I would say its got to be a leak from the block-off plate especially since you said it gets louder and faster with the rpm's, hopefully you will get some second opinions here shortly.

Id check the plugs and wires again. I checked mine like 5 times then I did it again and the back passenger side wire was a little loose.

Plug/wire gets my vote. You might have a plug with cracked porcelain, they sometimes come messed up from the manufacturer. You should be able to feel a puff from around the blockoff plates if that's the problem.
