There is a clanking/ticking sound from the engine when at approx. 1500-1750 rpm. Almost sounds like a diesel (its the 5.4L petrol V8)

In the past before the clanking/ticking sound, the car would rev up very high for a second once I was staring the vehicle. It has nor happened since.

If you have kept up with that, check to see if you have an exhaust leak. The exhaust manifolds are known to leak after so many miles. And yes, the leak will sound like a ticking noise.

LEt me know.
