Default clicking help..

Lately my car has been making a clicking noise when I drive slowley.. If I romp on it the ticking goes away, I just had the oil changed.. Is it time for a valve adjustment?

Pretty sure the noise is comming from the engine... Its only when Im excellerating slow at slow speeds... Sounds like valves but its not as loud as my valves have been in the past

is it ticking or popping...does it "pop'' while you are turning?...if it is only a ticking you might just need to clean your fuel injectors

I am sure you are going to eDiagnose a car trying to decide if it is clicking or popping. Most would consider that almost the same sound anyway.

-More info would be great.

Click.... definetly a clicking... and I dont think its the injectors because If I leave the car out of gear and slowly increase the RPM's the engine sounds fine.. not even valve ticks.. thats why I thought it would be my CV joints.. but when im rolling out of gear there is no clicking.. only when im accelerating...

Okay, then it's transmission related. The sound only happens when it is in gear.

Could be..have you checked or changed your transmission fluid lately?? Try changing it out with some GM syncromesh and see how it works. Check for metal in the fluid when you drain it.
