Hi, It could be a dry or worn bearing on a belt pulley, a dry valve lifter, or a leaky gasket. Pray that it is a leket or pulley, as they are eay and relatively cheap to repair. I had a tick when accelerating in my '00 tracker and it turned out to be a leaky egr valve gasket. I just had to take the egr valve off, scrape away the old gasket with a paint scraper and put a new gasket on. About $25 and a couple of hours later ... no tick. Hope this helps
If the ticking sounds like a "normal" ticking, it is probably the fuel injectors.

low oil pressure if you have a guage instead of a light and usually accompanied by valves ticking showing the need for more oil.
collapsed lifter?
ticking sound in engine is usually not caused by a timing belt ticking is usually caused by worn cam shaft or clifters most cars now have hydraulic lifters. if oil is low it will cause ticking. if a lifter is worn it will cause ticking these should have been ckecked for wear when replacing timing belt

Your valves need adjustment. Take it to your preferred mechanic.

yes, my 2000 grand prix gtp is losing power and makes ticking noise.
Fuel injectors can stick and sound like lifters but not as loud. Lifters of course. The speed of the ticking would help, one or two cylindars or all of them? A spark jumping, but there should be some loss of performance.
