    hey fellows

    i have an Aqua/prius c 2012 . In oct 2018 i planned on getting the engine tuned as it has been a long time and i felt there was need to get the throttle body cleaned . So the person i handed my car decided to clean the injectors and throttle body aswel , so here is what happned

    The engine got noisier after that , and the engine keeps knocking and clicking when driven on medium acceleration , something like this



    and there is this clicking sound when the i start it in the morning and sound reduces after driving for like 10 kms .

    second sound i hear is , it feels like the exhaust pipe is leaking. i have shown it to a couple of mechanics but they couldnt figure out whats causing it

    help
