So my car is a 93 Subaru Impreza with a manual transmission (don't know if that's important). It started making this weird clicking sound two days ago. I'm not a car person at all and the best way I can describe the noise is cards in the spokes of a bike. It seems to be connected with my RPMs - it's faster whenever I start the car or accelerate. I looked under the hood with it running and looking at it from the front of the car it seems to be coming from the left side near the silver tube things.
I've tried looking it up and have seen things about "pinking" but that seems to be related to gas and I've been using the same gas for five years. The day the noise started a friend of mine stalled the car (it was pretty loud) but I stalled that car plenty when I was learning to drive. Plus it started for me fine right after that - it was the next time that the noise started.
Lots of info but hopefully it gets me an answer. I'm hoping this may be inexpensive to fix. PLEASE help!

Okay so a couple people think oil, but I just had that changed last week - including an engine flush.

hi there,its hard sometimes trying to diagnose a veh.when you can't hear or see it but,i ran into a veh with same like symptoms.due too high mileage and not keeping up with oil changes or both,etc.the lifters inside the heads start making a tapping sound and increases with rpm.you'll need to take it to an auto shop and then find which lifter is at fault.once that is done you've probably spent no more than 200.00 dollars depends on how much the shop charges an hour it's usually 1- 1 1/2 per hour for diagnosing a veh...but first have you check your oil?. lol..good luck with your veh.

It could be a number of things. It honestly sounds like a bad belt (sometimes belts on your car just wear out..perfectly normal and very inexpensive...lol sometimes.) Or it could be a compressor or etc. etc. The best thing to do is take it to a mechanic and just tell them what its doing and ask them to estimate how much it is going to take to fix it and exactly what the problem is. Sometimes if they tell you what is wrong and say it needs a part its cheaper to buy the part yourself and then ask them to put it on. Good Luck. Hope that helps

ok whoever is telling you that's going to cost a shitload or which you will merely could tell ur dad isn't attempting that might actually assist you. even with the actuality that i will admit that became a extraordinarily dumb theory, I also have a answer. visit the library and get a instruction manual on your motor vehicle. look contained in the index until you come across the place it says on the thank you to drop your tanks. get a number of your dads approaches and a pair jacks out. placed the jacks on the front and decrease back area of the tank and jack them up til they touch the tank and perchance some greater turns previous that. undo the straps conserving on the tank. additionally undo the traces popping out of the tank. a touch gasoline will leak out of the traces yet will run out in some seconds. then as quickly as you have undone the straps, decrease the gasoline tank down by lowering the jacks on the two aspects frivolously. in case you haven't any longer have been given 2 jacks you're able to be wonderful besides, merely placed the single jack contained in the midsection area below the tank. in any case, unjack the tank and produce it to the floor. drag it out and pour it on or in something. in case you are able to pour it in something, then do this. be careful approximately merely pouring it on the floor (its unlawful). in any case pour all the gasoline out and placed the tank decrease back up and take care of it on back with the straps. then fill your tank up back with new gasoline. you're able to be ok merely by doing this. if your filter out gets clogged from the soy milk, then purchase a sparkling one.
