The "cluck cluck" noise is caused by chickens that have snuck into your car and are hiding under your seat. Removal of chickens will stop the noise, as well as possibly making a tasty dinner for you. I couldn't resist after reading your "smart aleck" comment above. Seriously though, as far as the noise goes, a shop will do anything you tell them to do. But it would be a mistake to just change the struts when you take the car in. The new struts might not cure the noise, the noise is just as likely to be coming from worn strut bearings or mounts. Replacing some of the parts and leaving the other old ones in will not save you money, it will end up costing far more. The labor to disassemble and reassemble the front suspension is the major part of the cost, it's best if you only have to do this once rather than over and over again each time something else wears out. Save up until you can afford to get the struts, mounts and bearings all done at once... then you will be "cluck cluck" free for many years to come. As far as the vibration in the gas pedal... I haven't got a clue. Maybe it's rubbing on the engine or something else - could it have been re-routed incorrectly when you cleaned the IACV? Just a guess. Enjoy your chicken dinner. tck...
