Is it ticking or knocking? Does the noise change with RPM's? Does it go away during the rise or fall in RPM's? These questions will help the online diagnostic team here at SHOFORUM.

its a 5spd and it has a 3.0 in it, i actually just filled it up with 93 an it runs alot better who ever had it before must have been puttin 87 in it. The ticking its not really there anymore theres a quiet tick where the injectors an fuel rail are, also its grinding goin into 3rd sometimes like its not all the way in and it is still hard to shift takes a few seconds but i can still get it to chirp

Ya that musta been it. These cars can't run on 87. J/K, 87 should be completely fine.

Either that or the gas that was in there had turned to turpentine from sitting and the new additive rich premium helped clean up the stuck injectors.
