well i hear this ticking noise one in a while in my engine bay. i'm not sure if it's my timing belt or whatever but friends told me it might be my lifters. if i rev it, it gets faster but once i drive it, it disappears. it really worries me. any inputs or, any of you guys experience this problem on 43000 milage 03

 

i have some light ticking noise but only when the engine is cold..

 

It's normal. I wouldn't be too worried.

 

i have it too in my 05....never gave any problems

 

All evo's usually have a little bit of a tick noise, nothing to be worried about.

 

isnt it the injectors, thats what i've been told and there loud on our cars.

Just open your hood while it running put yur head close to the intake manifold cuz im pretty sure it coming from there.

 

If it stops when you push the clutch in while idleing, it's probably your throw out bearing, I know about 3 to 4 Evos with it just here in Salt Lake, no problems, just an annoying noise.

 

I think it's coming from the valvetrain. Mine is more apparent right after an oil change but disappears soon after.

 

my friend told me the same thing, he had it with his silvia s13
