it seems to idle fine, i juss put this coil in a week ago. It has some lack of power. But the lack of power has been that way, and ery part i put on it makes it a lil better lol

well, that's why we do it lol. 420a's are not very strong cars at all but are reliable if you take care of them. how loud is the tick? take off ur plug wires and make sure everyting looks ok on the connecting end and plug them back up and make sure they are securely on there... see if that works. could be someting as simple as a loose wire... always try the simplest and cheapest route first.
