[camaroz87]

:( first off i have a 1998 3.8 .... i was just driving normally then i got on it a little bit and turned around in a circle but couldnt make it so i reversed and then put it in drive and i pressed the gas and nothing happened i had to wait a few seconds be4 i can press the gas cuz it was like the engine didnt agree with me it was so weird ....then when i got home i hear a ticking noise from the engine so im a lil worried anyone who can troubleshoot something like this would be greatly appreciated thanks
