Default SO one problem leads to another help

So what has been wrong with car was coil wire was barley connected causing the issues ive been having and i got the car tuned up yesterday, im driving home and went on it once to see if it felt fine and i try n brake ? but there car kept accelerating even when i through it into neutral and then i just shut the car off, pulled over on a side road, ended up popping the hood and the throttle control got caught on the intake coupler and was stuck in full throttle and got wond up got it lose and it would start after that and drove it home. but I know hear a tick or a type of knocking noise from the engine , trans shifts fine thou, and the engine seems fine other than this noise its making now. any one know what it could be? I havnt gotten to really look at it cause im kind of pissed about this at the moment

how high did it get? The rev limiter should have prevented serious damage unless it was bouncing off it a lot.

How loud is the noise?
Is it happening at idle?
Where's it coming from?

you can hear it come from inside engine bay, you can hear it when standing in front of car with hood open . Its sounds like a ticking or light knocking noise , and i didnt hear when i first started it earlier this morning then when drove it just down the block to see if it would do it or if it went away for letting it cool off and sit over the night, if it went away today but it didnt cause after driving it down the street it was doing it again. You can hear something when driving but yea. ill try n get a vid up later 2night or in morning , my friend cuz is mech and will check it out in morning. and have started it since this morning so ill check it again to see if it does it
