Check your oil. Could be low.
-
could be a thrown rod or worn piston rings....need more info
-
has your watch dropped off your wrist.
-
indicates that your not qualified to fix it
-
it's a bomb no doubt. RUN. :P
-
Time to trade it in on a new one Mate .
-
either you pissed some one off and it is a bomb or most likely you are hearing this after the car is off and that is the engine and many parts cooling.
-
Lol, if it was a thrown rod, it would be knocking, not ticking. If it was worn piston rings, you would hardly be able to stand the sounds because it would be screeching so loud. Its probably an exhaust leak, or a valve making noise. You can have valves adjusted for pretty cheap too.

If the car has a miss, could be a plug wire arcing. If not,possibly a exhaust leak.

A ticking noise could be related to something else like the fan, accessories (alternator/ac compressor/water pump/pulleys and tensioners), or belt. Outside of that, ticking is usually valve-train noise. Worn or collapsed lifters, "gunk" buildup in the valve-train, and low or too thin viscosity of oil can cause valve-train noise. Listen to the sound with the hood open and try to pin point the source. If the noise is coming from under the valve-cover, it's valve-train related. If it's coming from the belt area, it could be the accessories or belt. Check your belt and accessories for excessive play, out of kilter pulleys, etc. Check your oil. Valve-train issues may be fixed with a simple adjustment, or they might require a teardown of the head. Vehicles old enough to make such noise generally aren't worth repairing unless you can do it yourself.

if it is ticking after the car is shut off it is the block cooling off. when the car is running it heats and expands the ticks and pings when cooling

Could be the timing chain, I noticed a ticking sound in my car and that was the problem.. You can probably fix it yourself with a good set of tools and a Haynes manual, but it does involve quite a bit of disassembly.. If you don't think you can do it, have a mechanic check it out.. If you haven't fixed it yet, and it is the chain, get to it as soon as possible because if it breaks, all your valves will open at the same time, and everything inside your engine will become very cozy with itself.. Good luck!
-
Most likely a valve. If your oil is low sometimes it will cause the valves to tick. Check your oil!
-
it could be anywhere along your valve train.from the rocker arms down the pushrod to the tappets/hydraulic lifters. one the way to check is to have the engine running and place either long screwdriver or a length of hose against the valve cover and engine block. this will givee you general idea way the noise is coming from

That you need to move out of Brooklyn...suggest you take the subway when doing so! Capeech?
-
Ticking sounds are most likely a lifter chatter,usually caused from a worn lobe on your cam shaft,collapse hydraulic lifter or a bent push rod,it could be any of these.The ticking will eventually get louder and will cause valve damage in the future due to the valve not opening all the way(backfire may occur).The sound is actually play or slack between push rod,rocker arm and lifter smacking each other.Excessive revving and fast acceleration at high RPM's will cause this premature wear.

Someone has placed a bomb in your car. GET OUT FAST!!
-
There's a bomb under the hood. Ruuuuuuuuuuuun!
-
Depends on what hood it is I guess. And if its of a car/truck it could be many different things depending on make & models. For myself if I was to hear it under the hood of one of my Veh:s....I'd say it was a bad fuel pump about ready to quite on me. Or a need to reset the vales on the heads. Or maybe that it was getting very low on oil.
-
Not really enough info to answer properly but I ould suggest checking out the pulleys & tesnioners on your cam & alternator belts, these can tick if worn.
-
That contrary t'what the used car salesman told ya, that Rolex engine ain't real...it's a knock-off! Faggettaaboutit!
-
Generally when you get that light ticking noise its a Hydraulic Tapet that has become warn and wont hold oil in, therefore not taking up the space between the camshaft and the valve, unless you have a motor that is not overhead camshaft, then either you have a warn camshaft, warn valve, or warn pushrod.
-
Its usually a valve problem, but it can also be a cracked exhaust manifold.
-
first and simplest to most complicated-check oil, rocker arm adjustment, push rod bent or slipped out, lifter not pumping up properly (could be sticking from build up of residue), lifters worn or concave, cam shaft lobe, oil pump, get new engine.
-
I had a ticking noise around my throttle body.i drve a 1998 oldsmobile 88.to find out the ticking noise was a bad valve idle air control.you may want to check that.if your car has one.
