Recently a strange noise started coming from my motor.

It doesn't make the noise while idling... only when I press the gas.

Its a clicking noise.

Any suggestions on what it is and what to do?

take off your valve cover at the front there is a timing chain.
two bolts hold a chain guide (that is probably snapped)
remove bolts and guide. put the v/c back on and be happy

If it is in fact your timing chain guides, then this should help you.

In my KA I had to take off both upper timing chain guides and only heard it while idleing.
It didn't snap but was worn out.

I'v been meaning to check that. But I was certain the click continues while at idle if it's a broken timing chain guide.

My click only happens while reving/driving.
