I would start the car and let the rpms go down before moving. When i put my foot on brake or when i first start moving, it will start clicking and it sounds like it's underneath the hood near the belt. Few seconds go by and stops for good never restarting unless i restart it. Does not always click but most of the time. Sometimes small clicking and other times loud with a little shaking i think. Belt is new.

Have you checked the upper engine mount and the belt tensioner?

Also have you checked the oil level to make sure its not low and the lifters are clicking because of it?

It really helps if you answer back on this question and not start a new question makes things go a lot smoother.So do you have any idea where this clicking is coming from? I have seen pcv valves springs get weak and cause surging and clicking.Also i have seen egr valves get weak springs and get drive ability issues on those engines.Do you ever get a high idle?What was replaced for the code 32 egr code?
