So my Mazda has been making this weird clicking noise when I accelerate. When I am coasting the sound seizes. The harder I press the gas the louder and faster the noise gets.
I've taken it to my mechanic, he told me to try a higher octane gas, which I had already tried and he put some oil treatment in the oil. I just dont think he knows what the problem is. The noise does not happen when I am idling and press the gas. The car also shakes very hard when stopped at stop lights. I'm pretty sure its misfiring, I just had my motor mounts replaced(for the 2nd time UGHHH!!) so idk what to do. The issue is the noise though. if i had to compare it to another noise i would say its most like a playing card in bike spokes, or maybe the sound of a series of sparks. Hard to explain!
Maybe the lifters? or the timing chain? Im not car savy.
