That's seriously great advice. Personally i would rather sujjest the kid take some personal responsibility for his car and maybe learn something about along the way rather than leave it all up to momy and daddy.Anyway, If its a ticking that's just audible above general engine noise with your ear to the fender its probably just the injectors. Some ticking is normal. Sounds tinny, a bit like a clicky pen. If its a loud tapping that follows engine RPM and is more apparent on one side (usually the drivers side) it could be the valve train. If its a rattle that changes pitch or rythem its probably not directly related to the engine. Is the exhaust stock on the car? Can you get a good video capture of the noise?</blockquote>
