How many miles on the car? Did you change to roller rocker arms? Where does the ticking sound like it's coming from to you?

Have you tried the old mechanics trick of using a long screwdriver or wooden dowel (broomstick) and placing it at different areas (directly on the area with one end to your ear and the other on the area) of the motor when someone else revs it? Try that, it is 99.9% effective in finding noises in the engine area.

Yeah i have a stethascope "sp?" one of thoes things that doctors wear around there necks but its made to listen to motors and still no luck i didnt change roller rocker arms but, we looked and them still nothing we could see it goes in thursday to the guy i bought it from it sounds like its comeing from the passenger side ... i have 79,000 miles on it

Do you think it could be a noisy injector..or a sticking injector?

[Mr.Attitude]

valve tick? or maybe even knock? is the motor stock?

[transman]

Yeah the motors all stock... and injectors was the first thing i thought of so i put a cleaner in it no go there so i had them look at them and they said there all good all good, it a pritty loud ticking noise if your driving with they rdio off you can hear the noise and now the only time you can hear it is when it idoling

Check your plugs, if it's a sticking injector you'll have a rich condition in one cylinder.

I think its my time of bad luck because both my horns just whent out and I thought they couldnt have both gone out at the same time so i checked the fuse thats all good and then I thought maby the wires came undone the wires are in place and the ground is still screwed in... that no such a bad thing except that i have automatic locks and I cant hear my car lock now so if any one knows anything about this problem or have any ideas anything would help... thanks
