Signs of bad PCV valve in 2002 mustang gt?

I also have a 2002 Mustang GT with a bad PCV valve. It made a ticking noise while the motor was running then ticked for 3-4 seconds after it was turned off. A way to test if it is a bad PCV valve is to remove it and see if the noise stops. It is in the right head just under the intake hose. Lift it out and if the noise stops there is your problem. It's a five dollar fix.

What is the problem with a 93 Cutlass V6 when it shakes at an IDLE position and has a slight ticking noise coming from under the hood?

check to see if it shakes in drive and reverse. If it does have the motor mounts checked out they could be broken Sounds like you may have a bad spark plug wire,the ticking noise you hear may be the spark arching to the block or cylinder head. Open the hood at night and look for blue sparks jumping across the wires.
