Ticking under acceleration
Hey everyone this is my first post on this amazing site

2002 FX4 in between about 2500 and 3500 rpm in any gear (acceleration) i get a ticking crackling noise from the engine
ford is damn near useless cause 3 times now they have dismissed this as an issue but i fear it might be
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you know what is going on or how to make it stop it would be greatly appreciated

Re: Ticking under acceleration
Start by digging around the timing chain rattle threads. It's a notorious problem in our year model truck. I'm not sure if it's on FRF or not, but someone had posted a youtube video of 4.0 SOHC TC rattle.

Re: Ticking under acceleration
i shouldnt have said ticking...its more of a crackle
it sounds like there is, well at one point someone said carbon build up on the spark plugs but those were changed a while back. its a crackle, not really consistent, but very hard to explain.
I will take a video later today post it on youtube for you guys, and thanks for all the help so far

Re: Ticking under acceleration
Try running the engine at night and see if there is an ignition wire leak. Bad insulation on a wire might be causing an arcing problem.
