I HAVE A STRANGE TICKING NOISE, IT CAN BE LOUD SOMETIMES AND MORE QUIET OTHERS. THE THING IS IS THAT IT IS ONLY THERE WHEN I HAVE THE THROTTLE MORE THAN HALF WAY DOWN, OTHERWISE MY ENGINE SOUNDS FINE. NO LOSS IN POWER OR RESPONSE. THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP MY EXHAUST NOTE NOW CHANGES AND I WILL GET A HOULING SOUND FROM MY MUFFLER BETWEEN 3,000 AND 4,000 RPM. THEN AT 5,000 RPM IT GETTS ALOT DEAPER AND RASPIER THAN BEFORE. ALSO MY GAS MILEAGE HAS GONE DOWN THE TUBES. I USED TO GET 25 OR 26 MILES TO THE GALLON REGARDLESS OF THE WAY I DROVE. NOW IT IS DOWN TO 18 MPG. DOES ANYONE A GOOD SHOP IN SO CAL BESIDES WAYNE AT PHASE2 SINCE HE HAS NO MORE SHOP. WELL THATS ABOUT IT. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE RESPONSES.
