Need help, weird clicking noise

[Midnite_Driftin]

well first off i'm new to nico! so just wanted to say howdy! Seems like a nice community and hopfully i can be a part of it! =)

but now to my problem!

I've got a 1993 240SX fastback (KA24), and just recently it started making a ticking/clicking noise everytime i press on the gas.. but the odd thing is.. it's only when i press on the gas a little bit.. like if i give it about.. hmm lets say a little less that half pedal it won't make the noise at all.. i'm sure it's probably something simple but i can't figure it out?

Any idea's?

[pregmantis]

not enough info. does it click with engine speed or does it click with tire speed?

Firstly, check timing chain and guides, mine made a "clicking" with acceleration. Doesn't do it anymore since the guides have been replaced. But like he ^ said, not enough information given.

But welcome to NICO anyway. I'm pretty new, too. Like it so far.

[Midnite_Driftin]

oh sorry! ahah yea it clicks with engine speed! so you guess is most likly the timing chain guides? i read your thread on that so i probably could just get my info from there! Thanks =D

ohh and thanks for the welcome and yea i like it too.. i've learned lots already just by going through all the threads! =)

IT IS THE TOP TIMING CHAIN GUIDE PROBABLY TAKE IT OFF I DID BECAUSE NISSAN DOSN'T MAKE IT ANYMORE FOR THAT REASON IT HAS NO PURPOSE BASICALLY TRUST ME I KNOW I WORK AT NISSAN PARTS!!!!!!!!!!!

while you're in there don't forget to get the gunk out of the tensioners (WD-40 should work, according to whoever it was that did the rite up), should tighten up the chain to where it should be

also, on the DEs like you have the lower plastic guides like to break adn it causes a nasty sound. It doesnt sound so bad at first, but then the rattle gets unbearable.
