So as I go to pass this person, I floor the car and about half way through this incredibly loud ticking starts to happen. I pull over and the ticking slows down with the rpm. I go to back up and get off the street and it dies twice and I start it but I have to rev it up to get it moving. The ticking is increasing and decreasing with the rpm's. Once I get off the road I go look around and can't see anything that could be wrong with it. Having nothing else to do, I just drive home. On the way the ticking sort of dies down and stops, just like that. Does anyone have any idea what the hell this could be? I mean it started when I floored it and like just stopped suddenly, almost as if the piece fell back or what ever is making the noise. Some background info; the car has been acting up for a while, every once in a while when I would give it some gas the car would sputter and it would really change in sound, get really flappy and airy. This would only last for a few seconds and it would go back to somewhat normal. I thought it was a vacuum hose at first but it was still acting weird. Any ideas at all?? I am totally confused on this one. I know at idle my throw out bearing would make a little noise, but I don’t think this was the throw out bearing because the clutch still worked fine and it sped up or slowed down with the rpm.
