hello. thanks for reading / helping. i have a '99 Mustang LS V6. it has been ticking when accelerating. it sounds like its coming from the front of the engine area, but i cant tell on what side. when driving at a consistent speed, no matter how fast, it does not tick. only when i take off from a stop, or when i have to accelerate to pass people on the freeway.

im planning on a trip to vegas from california. about 275 miles each way. is there anything i can do for a quick fix- or do you think its too far of a drive (i dont want to blow my engine).

any advice would be great. thanks again for the help!
