Why would a car tick for a few days then just stop?
That depends on what is ticking, and why. Generally, a minor engine tick that suddenly goes away was caused by a clog in the oil pathways inside the engine that cleared up suddenly. If the engine generally ticks until the engine is warmed up, this suggests a clog in the engine's internal oil pathways that stays there, but as the oil warms and thins it's able to squeeze through enough to stop the engine from ticking.

"Engine temp is low 140 degrees" Bad Thermostat (stuck open) "a ticking noise is coming from the upper part of the engine" Lifters Make a ticking noise, To stop that there are these bags that fill with oil. If you run low on oil the bags don't inflate at you get a clicking. Check you oil level!!! The bags could be bad, the oil supply could be clogged, or something else could be wrong.
