little clicking noise when just touching the throttle NORMAL?

I am having a little clicking noise on my 03 6spd SE when I just feather the throttle. It is very audible, like a little `click'. Any ideas?

difficult to locate, somewhere around the gas pedal maybe. It is a little click that is specificaly related to the pushing of the throttle, regardless of rpm or speed. It is right at the beginning of the throttle travel, so if u were to just barely feather the throttle, u would hear a little `tick' or `click' like something is turning on or off, sorta like a faint `blinker' sound. Sounds automated..like an ON, OFF switch.

yeah, mine does that too...its actually coming from the clutch pedal, and even when the car is off it clicks. I havent thought anything of it, because it seems perfectly normal to me....not that audible

mine is just coming from the pedal, whenever i press in the clutch or depress the clutch, a little click comes from it, but only once as right as i press the clutch, and right before fully releasing it

Mine doesn't come from the clutch, but ONLY from the gas pedal. Very interesting, when the radio is off and ur driving slowly u can really hear it. Like a click, lol sounds cheap. I have to confess it is bugging me, and it is coming directly from the gas pedal.

its my understanding, that the clicking noise is the drive-by-wire, i could be wrong, but i think that is what it is and that is what i have been told.( 2k2- present anyways.)
