  • i started to get some very loud ticking when i start up

    i need suggestions on what could be wrong? it began by just having a loud ticking on startup(i could hear it distinctly from in the car with the windows up and it's louder with the windows down. but it was just for a second. however now it continues for about 5 minutes into the drive. even after it's warmed up. and now it starts out as like 3 or 4 things and ticking loudly and eventually gets quieter. what kinda things can it possibly be? thanks
    i was swimming in the carribean. animals were hiding behind the rocks except for the little fish, but they told me the squid\'s trying to talk to me. oink, oink. where is my mind?

    Maybe something is vibrating against something. Go down and look under and see if anything is misplaced.

      if it's coming from the engine, you might have spun a barring. That could be the worst thing, might as well kiss your money good by!

        It's just starting to turn cold in most areas. Sounds like a lifter(s) tick. Make sure your oil and filter are ok.

        Spun bearing? Whaaaa?

          thats what it is. a sticky lifter. this is a very common problem with our cars. this has come up a couple times. do a search and see what people did to resolve it.

          my buddys 99 bird does it. it does it more when its cold, but goes away after some driving. his is still like this, he hasnt had any further problems.
