Today as i was driving back from the park i noticed that my car had a clicking noise so i pulled over and heard that it was from the intake and i was wondering if any of you have had this problem before?

hmm.. u sure its not coming from the front of the motor. if so, theres a good chance its your timing chain. (depending on how loud the noise is)

Might be a frozen rocker arm. Check your oil levels and pour a little bit on each rocker arm under the valve cover for good measure. I assume it does, but does it fluctuate with the RPMs?

it's not the timing chain it seems to come from the ecs in the back side. the engine is a ka24e

And the noise come from this part
