    piston isn't sliding smooth in the caliper perhaps?

    using up more gas than usual? perhaps it is a sensor such as the O2 sensor.

    Is the clug sound coming from the firewall? Does the brake pedal feel different than usual? If so, it may be your master cylnider but the fIrst thing you should is flush your brake system before anything else, cheapest to do and could solve your problems and would be a good investment if you haven't done it yet.
