A clicking sound during accelaration

Just installed new fuel injectors and now i have a clicking sound during accelaration. But when I'm cruising ,no sound. Any idea what could be suddenly causing this?

Re: A clicking sound during accelaration

injectors make a clicking sound. But I do not really know if a bigger injector would make a higher than normal more heard sound. It almost sounds like you have an exhaust leak, under hard acceleration sometimes its a lot more noticeable because you have a lot more exhaust pressure coming out.

I was getting a similar sound, turned out a few of my valves needed to be re lashed. That fixed me up.
