This clicking noise can last up to 15 or 20 clicks then simply stops. If I press the acceleratior down while is is still clicking, it stops but then starts again when I let up on the pedal...until the clicking has run its course (ie. 15 or 20 or so clicks). I'm wondering if it could be related to a leak in the vacuum system. The "check engine" light remains on all the time...but it seems to run just fine. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I think the key is that the check engine light is on. The check engine light indicates that the computer has detected a malfunction in the engine/emission control system and has diagnostic codes and data stored which would be essential in diagnosing the problem.
    Find a GM specialist with a scanner to diagnose the car.
