Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. I would check to make sure the spark plugs are tight.

I forgot to add that, it runs like it’s missing out too while driving it.

Oh yes, that sounds like the ignition system, I would replace the spark plugs, plug wires and ignition coils. Thanks for the video.

I’m hoping I don’t have to replace the coil packs, but I am going to start with the wires because I took one of the back wires off yesterday and started it up and there was no difference in the way it ran.
