With the tune up, I would recommend replacing both the spark plugs and the ignition wires attached to them. Keep in mind, you may have a weak coil pack causing the problem and not a bad plug or wire. As far as the noise, can you describe it to me? Does it only happen when you stop? Have you checked the tracking bar bushings?

I would recomend having the tracking bar bushings checked on that side. Something tells me it is bad. Let me know what you find.
