Is it a lifter ticking?
The ticking noise is the metal cooling.
it will be your valve lifters common problem for the Mazda 626 engine when they start to get up in the milage
Does it turn over? When you try to start the car can you hear a ticking noise? If there's ticking it could be your battery or alternator but if it doesn't tick it's probably your starter.
Either there is not enough electricity into the engine to start it or the engine us worn out and it is unable to spin. (It would go up to half way and come right back down causing the noise) Solution: Get a car check in order to improve the situation or change engines
A ticking sound from a 5.4 Triton engine after it warms up is often caused by a few common issues. One possibility is the failure of the hydraulic valve lifters, which can lead to insufficient oil pressure and result in lifter noise. Another potential cause is the use of low-quality oil or incorrect viscosity, which can affect lubrication as the engine heats up. Additionally, worn or damaged timing chain components may contribute to the ticking sound as the engine operates.
What you hear is lifter noise, its pretty normal. At start up there is no oil in the top end of the engine so the unlubricated valve system will make noise until the oil can reach it. The valves may or may not need adjusting, Hydraulic lifters require oil pressure to take up the slack and if the noise does not persist after oil pressure is obtained then most likely not. Some oil treatment and more frequent oil changes may make the tick stop completely.
AnswerCheck your alternator
There could be numerous reasons why a Suburban is making engine noise at start up. It could be anything from a blown gasket to a spark plug. A mechanic will be able to find out the cause of the noise.
The Mustang was originally mass produced in late 1964, but Stang concepts, called the Mustang Roots, were made in '62 with a German V-4 engine.
usually in any vehicle when the battery dies if you keep turning the key there will be a ticking sound and since the battery has no power left it wont turn over your engine therefor it not being able to start however if the battery is just fine you got me
