well it could be a number of things. assuming it's coming from the engine.... it's more than likely a valve or your timing chain and the associated components are getting worn out. witch would also result in ticking valves. especially if it has over 100k and the chain has never been replaced. first thing i would try is give it a fresh oil change and sub out one quart of oil for Lucas motor oil. it does miracle's! the best oil i have found id Valvoline max life synthetic blend. it's only $15 bucks at wal-mart and it's one of the best out there. especially for the price. If you find this doesn't help then it's back to the timing chain. If you aren't able to do the work yourself it'll be pretty costly. even if you do it's not cheap. I let my chain go and i ended up having to get a whole new motor!! once the chain goes the motor is worthless!! keep in mind that most repair shops do free estimates. Doesn't hurt to have a pro look at it! good luck!
Defective CVC joint.
harmonic balance maybe bad
Get out and run away save youreself alot of money and grief.
The most likely cause of a ticking sound in a motor is a bad timing belt. A valve out of time can also cause a ticking sound.
the ticking is the blinkers
collapsed lifter?
Waht is the answer?
Get your brakes tested. I do not know what a ticking sound means.
You should have an auto mechanic check the car or take to the Ford dealership.
It is just a guess when I am not able to hear the particular sound. If it is somewhat of a metalic tubing sound it could just be the exhaust tubing cooling down.
If the ticking sounds like a "normal" ticking, it is probably the fuel injectors.
yes
