   LOUD Clicking under hard acceleration

I noticed twice now under hard acceleration a loud clicking noise. It sounds like the fuel injectors but almost like they are having issues.

Has anyone else had this issue. It doesn't happen with high boost by itself just when I give it a bit in second gear and higher. Pretty much full throttle.

Sorry everyone trying my best to explain it all.

Thanks for any advise.

Probably the injectors needed for the direct injection in the GXP. You can read more about it here New GXP - New Ticking Noise.

"clicking" under hard acceleration sounds like detonation. You running premium?

I know this one. Nope simular but much louder.

I personally thought if it was that it would sound very bad and never stop after the damage was done. And as for gas yep 91 octane. Always.

After reading the tread suggested above. I'm thinking its the injectors just working really hard since it doesn't continue after I let up on the gas. And it doesn't do it when I give it off of lights and such.

As seen in the tread I think I was just paranoid. But In all fairness the next mod I ordered was a fuel one and I didn't want it to bite me in the ass in the long run.

Thanks for all your input. I will probably just go to the dealer real quick and see what they say just in case.

Thanks again.

I also noticed a tapping sound while accelerating. Almost like a lifter tap. It can be heard just under the injector clicking. Car has under 5000 miles. Anyone else have same noise?

Sounds like you have detonation under hard acceleration. That is bad. Are you using 91 or above? I'm surprised no one else mentioned that. Normally you only hear the fuel pump while sitting.
