Ignore the previous answer. Whoever posted that is WRONG.
The 5.4 (As you obviously know) , is a GAS engine.
A ticking noise in a 5.4 could be a number of things. Cracked exhaust manifold, Bad EGR Valve, a bad lash adjuster, or it's getting ready to blow a spark plug.

The check engine light is on in your 1998 Ford Explorer there is a faint ticking and noise coming from the engine what is it The oil and transmission fluid was just changed before the light came on?
The check engine light is not related to the oil or the transmission fluid systems. It is related to fuel control, computer, emmissions control systems. The faint ticking you hear may just be the normal noise coming from the fuel injectors. All fuel injectors make some kind of ticking noise while they operate. I would say, if the check engine light has anything to do with the services performed, it would almost have to be a simple connector that may have been unplugged to move a wire out of the way, and then forgotten. Otherwise, I believe it would have to be a coincidence. Even if the ticking noise is a lifter in te engine, that still would not cause a check engine, and would not be the fault of someone changing the oil, as long as the oil is full.

What causes oil pressure gauge to come on and ticking noise in engine of ford explorer sport?
The ticking noises is the lifters slamming into the valves. They are not receiving the amount of oil they require to lubricate properly. Either the oil level is very low or something else is seriously wrong. Continuing to run the engine like this will lead to very early engine failure.
