When slowing down i hear a ticking noise coming from the engine i assume. Any ideas what it could be. Going 45 then letting off the gas i hear a ticking noise??? help

 

i have the same question... but it does it at difrent times... it dose it at a certain rpm when i am xcelerating... weather it be in 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th... going down interstate it does it non stop... in 5th gear... i have no idea wha it is could you help both me and buckdropper out on this one? any feedback is appreciated

 

Does it sound kind of like cards on bicycle spokes?

 

I got the same DANG PROBLEM!!

 

So Hizo, is that the noise you get, like a card on bicycle spokes? If so, I may have AN answer, if not then I don't.

 

sounds like what i got. does it get echo off of walls and stuff when you go through a drivethrough??

 

no mine dosent echo...
you can only here it when xcelerating at a certain rpm... you can here it down by the pedals... but no its not so loud i get echo's... but yes it kinda sounds like cards on bike spokes... and the only way i ignore it is to turn the music up... and then you cant here it...


note: its did it ever since last year when there was about a 30 mile stretch of nothin... and i set the cruise at 93 and went for 30 miles... i dont know if that would have anything to do with it...

but it musta casue its did it ever since...

 

Check your spark plugs to make sure they're not loose. After that, try to see if it's coming from an injector. If it's neither of those, I have no idea.

 

i had a thread about my noise awhile back and got the response that it might be the injectors, lifters, or rocker arms....all seem to be possible, but i wont know until im looking at the engine, with the heads off, when its running....

 

I have the same thing going on in my truck, the "ticking" happens right under me. Mine is from and exhaust leak. Might want to check that out on y'alls. Gets louder as I speed up. You can barely hear it at idle.

 

thats what my dad is convinced it is too. i took it to the guy that did my exhaust, but i think he forgot to check it out when he fixed my bracket. Also will a looses clamp cause a rattling noise when stopping/slowing down?? i hear that occasionally too....

 

my injectors are EXTREMELY loud. i can touch them while it's running and "feel" the tick.. it's on all of them. when it's running sounds like 8 angry little ticking things under my hood....

 

i guess thats a norm then. but i still think i have an exhaust leak and a loose clamp or something....stupid rattle.....

 

I am not sure what year you have, but if you have them, you should check out the end links on your suspension. They are renowed for the bushings tearing up. Check that out first as it is a cheap and easy fix. Otherwise, yes a bracket could cause the rattling. Good luck!

 

its a 2001. and i just recentley replaced my shocks like 2 months ago, but i will check those out when i get home for the summer. where are they located at? on the bottom or top of the shock mounts? or somewhere else?
