A ticking noise from a car alarm when it's switched on may indicate a malfunction or a problem with the alarm's internal components. It could be a sign of a low battery in the alarm system, a wiring issue, or a fault in the sensors. Checking the alarm's manual for troubleshooting tips or consulting a professional technician may help diagnose and resolve the issue. If the problem persists, consider replacing the alarm system to ensure proper functionality.
yes, my 2000 grand prix gtp is losing power and makes ticking noise.
Most likely the ticking you are hearing is that from your solonoid. This is generally related with insufficient power from the battery.
Oil slow getting to the head
Sounds to me like HOT exhaust cooling down.
possibly you need a better grade of gas?
The cool water hitting your piping hot exhaust makes the metal contract (Shrink) and it makes a ticking noise.
The problem with the wording in "Startled by the noise, the alarm clock was knocked on the floor" is that it makes it sound like the alarm clock was startled. It would be better written: "Startled by the alarm clock, I knocked it on the floor."
It could be a sticking hydraulic lifter or valves that are slightly out of adjustment.
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.
If you hear it only at idle and sounds faint, it is your rocker shaft. They wear on the end and makes a slight ticking noise. Mine has done it for over 100k miles and no problems. I hope you have done reg maint and kept oil changed.
the ticking noise is a small exhaust leak close to the exhaust headers or exhaust pipe near the engine.
Take it to a mechanic
