Knocking noise when cold but after it warms up it goes away on a 2001 blazer can it be the water pump because i some problem with that as well.?

It is possible that the bearings are going bad on the water pump but you are going to have to listen to where the noise is coming from, whether it is inside the engine ( rod knock or oil pressure issues ) or outside (pump bearings or pulley issues).I lean toward internal wear or damage to the engine since the noise goes away when it warms up which indicates that when good oil circulation is present the problem goes away, bad bearings in a water pump will always make noise until they are repaired.

What could be the cause of a ticking sound at startup on a 97 Plymouth Grand Voyager if the sound goes away after the engine warms up?

If the noise on occurs after the vehicle has sat for a while, it could be a hydralic valve lifter bleeding off. They tend to click for a while until the oil pushes all of tha air out. Maybe go to a lighter weight of oil. BG makes a product called MOA that has helped ease the clicking noise in vehicles I have worked on in the past. Take it easy until it warms up and even clicking it should last for a whole lot more miles!
