Have a 02 Maxima that makes a clicking/popping noise (not a pinging, like a plug problem) when you let off the accelerater, never with foot on gas. Doesn't matter what gear your in and doesn't seem to matter if the AC is on. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

from the engine bay or somewhere else? if it's from the engine bay, I'd check for loose tubing. I have a clicking as well but it's from the power steering cooling loop that's worked itself loose and it's rattling against my cross member. Check around, get us a ballpark idea of where it's coming from.

Check engine light came on, so took it into dealer. Said it was the Intake Timing Solenoid, which they replaced a couple of months ago and said it was defective and replaced again. That took away most of the noise.
