"Sparking" Noise Under Hood
I have no clue what this noise is...bit I *think* it's coming from under the hood.
1.) Only makes noise when I accelerate.
2.) Sounds like a sparking noise, also like some loose sheet metal is viberating and tapping on something.
I can't locate anything that is loose, that could make this noise.
Anyone have any idea what this could be? Anyone hear this before?

I am currently having the same problem. I fixed it last time (in October) by switching to a different brand of gas.
This time I tried a different Brand, a mid grade octane gas. I've tried also added a Gas Drier (in case it was moisture in the fuel). My plugs and wires are new. The car runs fine otherwise.
I have a similar car - 1988 GXL with 55,000 miles and no mods.
