Hi, my name is Bob and I have a 1993 Maxima DOHC 4DSC and I have a problem. I bought this car from the original owner 2 yrs ago ( 50k miles) and it had a slight ticking noise in the engine. Now, the car has 71k and the ticking noise is getting worse. It sounds like a noisey lifter. The ticking can only be noticed at low RPM. When I step on it ( I like doing that) the ticking goes away and when the RPM's return to this planet you can hear it again. Does anyone out there have any ideas??? Thanks in Advance for any help.
Bob
