Does it also seem to have a slight hesitation. My guess is that it is a 
bad plug wire or plug. Mine recently had a similar thing. I thought it 
was a lifter. One of the plug wires was corroded inside and under load 
the engine wasn't getting enough juice to fire the plug enough and caused 
a slight ticking sound load.
