    why does it make a clicking noise ? some1 told me to tap it with ratchet because they get stuck sometimes? do you need to replace the gasket if you take it of for a look?

    you can reuse the gaskets, just dont drop them down the back of the engine when you remove it

    does the fact that it clicks when you take your foot of throttle mean its not working?
