Something on my car is clicking, it sounds like it'* coming from the driver'* side in the engine, I don't think it'* an engine knock I've tried every type of gas in it and stills click. sometimes I will rev the engine just a little and it will go away for a few seconds and then come back, and I don't hear it all the time, just when I'm idling. Hope someone on this forum can help me cause it'* driving me crazy I just bought this car like 5 days ago and I really love it I hope it'* nothing serouis.
I think I know what your talking about.
Its only as idle right? And it is continuous as if a fan is knocking against something?
I had this problem after my accident a few months ago, but it went away after a few weeks. Now and then it comes back but only for a few seconds. Something is touching something, but the car has not blown up in my face yet so I'm happy.

Jseabert has it too, but on the front head. It sounds like valve tick in a 79 Camaro. Don't ask me how I know or how old I was when I had that car. It'* no biggie. I'm surprised to hear it in a SSEi, though. SSEi'* have dimple rods, and should be less prone to do it, unless it'* coming from the rocker contact? But we have roller rockers, too. Beats me. Hector, what gives?
It is not a lifter/rocker sound. It is more like an electrical arch ticking noise from the drivers side of the engine. Not an internal engine noise at all. That is why I wasn't too concerned about it.

What kind of electrical problem, when I first bought the car the oxgen sensor needed to be replaced from the soon engine light so the guy I bought it from did if for free from the warrenty, but what kind of electical problem could it be. Does anyone know?
