Not near enough info..fuel doesn't sound like a problem as much as this ticking may be an issue...when does it occur, how, where..etc.

More Info

First still seems pretty strong. I was driving down the highway the other day with the cruise control on and I went to down shift and more rpms shot all the way up, I immediately shut off the car and pulled off to the side of the road. Hopefully it diddnt screw anything up, but this could be part of my problem.
