Possibly just an adjustment on the rockers. Hydraulic system. Hopefully that's it.

What causes a ticking noise in the engine of a 2002 Trailblazer at idle?

my manafold is leaking on my trailblazer. I does cause a ticking noise.AnswerIf its a faint ticking noise its probably just the fuel injecters Answer2002 Trailblazers have piston sleeves that were a common problem. The piston slap can be a problem and some older engines had a recall due to the possibility for the sleeve to drop and hit the crankshaft. The trailblazer has throttle body fuel injection. Not individual injectors.I have a 2003 Trailblazer, and upon investigation, I come to learn that just before the infamous fan clutch goes out, it will start to make a ticking sound at idle. I thought it was a pulley or the belt, but within a month the fan clutch finally went. Locking up and sounding like my engine was revving too high as I drove. Repair cost vary, but make sure they use the upgraded fan clutch to avoid replacing it again in another 40,000 miles.

Try to locate the ticking noise. Is it the engine? Is it ticking when you are driving? When you are sitting still? It could be as simple as a stone stuck in yoru tire, everytime it hits the road it ticks. it could be a lifter in the engine. Try to be more specific as to where and when the ticking happens.


What causes a ticking noise from a 2007 96 cubic inch harley Davidson engine when running?

I have the same ticking noise and it seems to be louder on hotter days. I was told by the service tech it's due to the synthetic oil being thinner. I have my doubts, but that's what they said. Still researching for the answer myself.
