okay i noticed that when i start my car in the morning when the engine is cold, i hear a ticking sound coming from the engine. The sound seems to come close to the alternator belt . Once i drive the car the sound is gone...Now could this be that my engine is not getting enough oil by the MOP or is it just the belt wheel ticking on the alternator??



any suggestions

Mine did that before I got the new plugs and wires.

Have all the updates been done on your car?

It could be the air pump for the Cat if it is on the passenger side.

all updates have been done its a 2006 gt btw.......and it almost sounds like one of the belts is making this noise, when its cold .......once i drive it and its warm no more noise...... tic tic kinda like when u turn on a regular piston engine and it has no oil in it........


maybe its the air pump hmmmmm

you're cylinder head is cracked

I'd try to figure out the exact location of the ticking, as us guessing won't help much.

it is your alternator pulley.....I have the same noise when I start the car when its cold.......I wasn't sure what it was so i looked and looked and finally just sprayed some jigaloo on the alternator pulley and the sound instantly went away......I installed the ap pulley a bit ago.....going to check the belt tension tomorrow and see if they are too tight.....might need to adjust the altenator. Once the engine is warmed the sound goes away on its own without the jigaloo as well.
