I just changed out wires and put new cap and rotor (only just new rotor becuase the cap I bought was broken) but anyways, its ticking from it now, tick tick tick tick tick tick and when i speed up it gets faster. any ideas?

 

Get a new cap to match the new rotor, and make sure you use dielectric grease in the boots at BOTH ends, and ensure the wires are fully seated on the plugs and in the cap and coil.

 

could this also cause my engine to kind of sputter and shutter at certain points of acceleration and idle weird?

 

heh looks liek i found the ticking noise, i took the cap off and the rotor tip was bent in, the cap had a huge slash in it and was only giving spark to half the cylinders, ganna put the new cap on and some dielctric grease after engine cools. maybe i just put the cap on wrong or something not sure.....

 

the tick is from it jumping spark, from plug wire to cap, cap to rotor, or coil wire to cap. Either way its a miss fire. You did something wrong, now go fix it again, re-attach all the wires check the cap is on right, check the rotor, or change it all.

 

waiting for engine to cool down, think I could have messed something up driving it like that?

 

no, but the rotor and cap are now trash. make sure cap goes on the right way, it should be idiot proof with a lug on the bottom but you know how stuff happens

 

my truck ticks when i give it gas. but its from an exhaust leak. i got a crack or two in my right exhaust manifold
