My 1988 Grand Wagon developed a ticking sound yesterday. It sounds like a lifter or something. I checked the oil and the level is fine. The ticking frequency speeds up as the car does. When I lift off the gas, the ticking stops. The ticking stops also at idle and if I rev the engine while in park. So it appears like it only happens when the car is accelerating. I thought it might be the speedometer cable or something in the transmission? Maybe something in the exhaust system? Any thoughts?
