check the cambelt is tensioned properly. I had this once after 2k miles on an x16xe and it turned out that the tensioner was slightly out. | |

Can't see why it would be a spark plug problem? | |

quote: checked, nothing seen to be such... and it's quite specific at 3.2-3.9k is it possible that is an electric connection or spark plug problem?:boggle: | |

Check for anything thats loose, it could be that its only at around 3-4k that the vibrations from the car is enough to move it. | |

there's a ticking noise which you can here inside the car (like behind the dash) but outside too, near drivers wing at the bottom. it only happens at revs between 3.2-3.9... |
