My car has been making this very annoying ticking noise and it would increase as the RPM's would increase. I finally took it to my local shop and had my buddy check it out with his sethescope (spelling?). He came up with the idea that the #7 cylinder's spark plug was loose. Sure enough, he tightend it and the ticking is gone. Just thought I should post for the many others that have that similar "ticking" noise.

That's a pretty common thing to mistake the ticking. I had the same thing 3 years ago, it was a loose wire though, and the jumping spark eroded the coil terminal to the point it had to be replaced. Thought it was a bent pushrod - it was just a crappy install by a former "tuner".

That happened to me once with my Harley.
I was about three miles from the house in the early morning when one of the plugs finally worked out of the hole!
The bike was shuddering to beat all hell,making a god awful, PSSHHT, PSSHHT, PSSHHT, PSSHHT everytime the piston ran up the bore.
Scared the living **** out of me!
I looked down to see what the commotion was all about and find the plug bouncing around on the end of the ignition wire intermittitanly sparking whenever it hit a ground.
So what do you think I did? Yep, you guessed it, I grabbed hold of it to put it back in the hole!
That sonofabitch hit me about forty times before I realized that was a really stupid move!!

Yep, drinkin and ridin! Glad those days are over!
