  • Ticking Noise

    Ok this one has me stumped. I just had my oil changed in my firebird, and a few days later I noticed that when I start it, it makes a ticking noise that increases with the rpms. My car seems to be kinda sluggish for the first 10 minutes or so, then after awhile, the car runs fine and the noise goes away. It sounds like it's coming from the driver's side of the engine, near the ignition coils, but I doubt it's them. I have no clue whats going on here, is it the rockers? the lifter? or something ignition related? can anyone help?

    well if this noise is starting just after an oil change, Im going to assume its valve train related.

    which yes means rockers and more namely lifters, pretty sure thats your issue. Is your SES on?

        That's kinda what I was afraid of. But I don't have any SES lights on or anything. Wierd.
