So there is a recent ticking noise coming from under car whenever i let off of the gas. As soon as i give it the slightest amount of throttle, the noise stops, but right when i let off the gas the ticking noise returns.

 

Especially when in lower gears.  

 

It may have something to do with going over small rocks and hitting under neath while driving in the hills, but i have no clue what the noise could be.

 

I heard that it could be the heat shield, but i removed most of it earlier due to annoying rattle noise.  

 

Noise does not occur when just parked in neutral.

 

Please help!

 

Thanks, Austin

Is it a constant clicking or does it only click once or twice then stop?

Can we have miles on the car (and tranny type and engine) please.

 

Does it change on turns?

engine is 2.5l not sure about tranny.

 

not constant

 

the noise does not change on turns, noise only occurs when i let off the gas, as soon as i put the slightest pressure the noise stops.
