I'm taking the stethoscope to it tomorrow to track the actual source (when I find where it's hidden), but I've got a ticking noise coming from the engine bay, fairly distinct, but soft, can't hear it unless I pop the hood. Seems to fade when I rev up. I could be wrong but it seems to be coming from the supercharger or intake manifold.
Is it likely to be the coupler I read up on? or is there something else it could be inside the s/c or manifold?
Just got the fuel pump replaced, plugs are fouled with carbon, but I just got the car back a few hours ago and now it's dark and cold outside, so plugs are getting replaced tomorrow. Seems to be... well I'm not really sure what's up, but it's got like no power, I have to put the pedal down pretty hard to get it moving, though that might improve with new plugs, got a new PCV valve, new fuel filter. Oil is still light, clear and good, I changed it not too long ago. I THINK I got the injectors cleaned up (went to the dealers about a possible line leak; a momentary lapse of reason) and they did an emissions something something or other.
I had the tick before the fuel pump was replaced.
Any ideas/advice? Google is not being very forthcoming with answers tonight.
