Title says it. Now what is wrong?
It only does it under throttle....if I just coast....no noise.

Sounds like a c/v shaft wore out. Turn the wheels hard left or right and look at the outer boot. It's more than likely torn. Once the dirt and sand enters the joint it causes it to wear and the excessive clearance causes the clicking noise you hear.
