Lifter noise in a Pontiac Vibe typically refers to a ticking or tapping sound coming from the engine, often caused by issues with the hydraulic lifters, which are responsible for maintaining proper valve clearance. This noise can result from low oil levels, dirty oil, or worn lifters. If the noise persists, it may indicate a more serious engine problem that requires inspection and potential repair. Addressing the issue promptly can help prevent further engine damage.
