My 83 toyota has been running great aside from the occasional part here and there going bad. I drove it from Los Alamos to Albequerque Friday and it ran great. However once I got into town and below freeway speed I noticed some tapping. The tapping only happens when I apply minor acceleration, i.e. when I very first shift into a gear or when I'm driving around town, 35 mph or so, and don't need to have the pedal to the floor. At freeway speeds when I've gotta have the throttle all the way open just to keep up with traffic it doesn't tap, same with when I'm coasting, but when I just apply a little accelerator I get the tapping. Suggestions on what I should check/do first?
