My engine has developed a ticking noise that only happens when in drive/while driving. The faster I accelerate the faster it ticks. It also bogs down and vibrates while stopped at a light, not sure if it is related to the ticking but didn't do that until the ticking started. I've done an oil change and it didn't stop it. So far most opinions are that its the lifters or the ac compressor. I can't figure it out. Please any input appreciated. Thanks.
