Acceleration Clicking Noise

Wondering if you can diagnose my problem because the local dealership has no idea.. For a while now, during acceleration i have been hearing a clicking noise.. The clicking noise is intermittent.. Any ideas what is causing the noise.. thanks

0-35mph i notice it. 15-25 mph i notice it too

couple seconds of multiple clicks and disappears either by me removing my foot from the gas pedal or it just stops in the middle of acceleration

The clicks are intermittent.. I do not hear it every time i accelerate. I once noticed it when the car was parked and i was reving the engine, but the clicking noise were short, but mostly hear when I'm driving it.

I hear the clicking noise out of my drivers side window predominantly when I'm passing a high curb or wall when the clicking noise bounces out from under the car.

it's not a wheel bearing if he heard the noise while the car was parked.

Does this happen at all air temps? If it doesn't happen when colder, and it's more along the lines of a ticking, then it could be engine ping. Typically with hotter air temps, you might hear this under medium to heavy acceleration and generally around 2-4k RPM with the VQ.

Bingo.

My 03 does it intermittently just like it does with the compression rods. Chances are, the noises will go away for a few months, reappear for a week, and then go away again. It's not a problem. Just a minor annoyance.

The clicks while revving the motor at a stop are most likely the fuel injectors. They're noisy.
