Best Answer

if only doing while going up hill ( motor underload *) then is mostly likely "premature spark knock" caused commonly by the engine timing being " fast " basicaly the sparkplug fires before the piston reaches top of its cycle. though it is not uncommon especially in high-compression engines to be a direct result of low-octane fuel. Try running a higher grade of fuel. if that don't stop it then take a look at engine timing

Are clack valves used in cars?

If you define a clack valve as an automatic valve that allows flow in one direction but prevents it in the opposite direction, then yes, in lots of places (see the related question). For starters how about: * check valves in A/C compressor * check valves in diaphragm-type fuel pump * carburetor accelerator pump valves * vacuum retention valve on brake booster * check valve in brake master cylinder * usually several in the automatic transmission valve body * exhaust flapper on diesel truck (ok, that one's a stretch) * and probably others....
