fast click as the engine goes faster sounds like lifters.
u can get some stuff called valve medic it put it on my moms van and it cleans out the crud insude the lifters and makes them pump up faster at hold.

VALVE MEDIC in the oil

Do you have a 3.3L engine or 3.0L? If its a 3.3L the rear rocker tower could be broken, To where the ck engine lite don't come on for a misfire.

i have the 3.0l and no engine light either just very fast rapid click click noise and as u accelerate it gets faster

[master tech]

Try this before any repair that you may make. This only cost you an oil change and 1 qt of ATF don't matter +3 or +4 could be any type. Add ATF to the engine and drive 10 miles and change oil and filter.

by this u mean the valve medic right

Just another thought, my 97 3.0 will do this when it's low on oil. Have you checked your oil level? I have a couple of leaks I haven't gotten around to fixing. Making sure the oil level stays correct keeps the click from happening to me. It could be simply a quart low.

yes mine has 1 oil leak but i never new it would start to click when its only 1 quart low, does urs click loud as if its a ticking time bomb
