Hey guys, I bought a 2003 Mazda Proteg LX with 173xxxkm on it last week, everything seemed in good shape, alot of mainetance done on it, every belts are new etc.
Last week I was driving to work and my check engine light came on, nothing seemed to be out of order so I thought maybe a sensor, shortly after I had to do some work which required for me to unplug my battery temporarily (which made the check engine light go off), it's been a few days and it hasn't come back on yet.
Today I was driving and I had the feeling that my engine sounded a bit different than before, I parked and opened the hood, and there's a little ''click click click'' sound which seems to be coming from the left side of the engine (passenger side)
I'm very worried it could be serious, anyone knows what it could be?

Edit: Forgot to add, the noise isn't there all the time, when I rev up the engine it seems to die down a bit and I noticed it the most when I was on Idle
