I've left my '96 GT with a mechanic friend while I'm away for one month, so that he may make some repairs to it. One of the things I needed diagnosed(though I haven't told him yet) is this ticking sound when I put ever so light pressure on the gas pedal. I'm guessing it's the rotting Flowmaster mufflers (soon to be replaced) but I also heard it could be the tach? I don't understand how it could be the tach.
What makes me think mufflers is before I had the catted h-pipe put back on, the tick was much more audible with an o/r h-pipe. Now it sounds muffled.
The tick doesn't seem to speed up either, nor does it happen while coasting. If it happens under harder acceleration, I can't hear it.
Anybody have any ideas what it might be?
Thanks.
Cindy
