There is a little circuit board on the back of the cluster that runs the tach, It is the usual cause of a non working tach. The ticking noise could be a loose timing chain.
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
you mean ticking, right? Had the same problem with my 97 with the 3.9. It was an exhaust leak between exhaust manifold & head. New gaskets fixed the problem.
Take it to a professional and have the valve lash adjusted. Also replace the spark plugs.
If the ticking is coming from the top of the engine it is likely the Hydraulic (valve) Lash Adjusters.A fresh oil change using a quality oil and ***an OEM filter from the dealership*** should clear the noise up within 15 minutes of driving.Use of a non-OEM filter can cause valve train ticking noise.

The ticking noise could be worn out rocker arms under valve covers. Switch to heavier weight oil if ticking noise subsides that could be your problem. This is usually a sign of a high mileage engine. Worst case scenario would be weak oil pump not getting oil to top of heads.
Please give us more info. Sometimes that's normal-there is thermal and mechanical. Sounds like you have a thermal-try other type since they are cheap.
The ticking sound is coming from the valve lifters. When the oil filter is changed, air is introduced into the system, which causes air bubbles to form in the oil. This causes the valve lifters to "leak down", which is what causes the ticking sound. It can take several days for the bubbles to dissipate. It's annoying, but harmless.

No. The word ticking is a verb form, or a noun, or an adjective (ticking clock). But it is not used as an adverb.
Sounds like a loose tappet in the header, though I'm just a back yard mechanic.
