1993 Oldsmobile 88 Royale clicking noise

Unread post by unfortunateGuy » Sun Dec 15, 2013 9:39 am

My car makes a loud clicking noise that sounds like a gun firing an empty clip. It starts as soon as its started and clicks in 1 second intervals. Sounds like the noise is coming from right above my alternator. Checked alternator and my gears on my belt and nothing is hitting each other and making the noise. Even checked my boots and there tight. Could it be a firing piston or connecting arm ?I'm completely lost and this is my firstt car. Please help. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. I also forgot to say it still starts up and runs but also has a failing fuel pump and stalls when I turn if I only have a quarter tank of gas. Also stalls rarely on deacceleration.

when it comes to noises you really need someone to listen to it. So they can actually hear the type of noise and try to locate where the noise is coming from. it's very hard to discern noises in print. do you have a video of the noise?
