When i start my car and it sits there idling there is like a quick clickin/ticking noise inside my engine. When i pop the hood it sounds like its coming from the top of the engine near the valve cover. Anyone know what this would be? and the solution to it?
thnx

 

I beleive its knocking but not sure how to fix except check your timing

 

Near the front? Might be the timing chain/tensoiner

 

Spark plugs igniting maybe? I hear that too on my car.

 

might sound stupid, but whens the last time u changed your oil? make sure its in good shape.

 

Oil is only 1000 miles old.. even got the high mileage stuff cuz car has 94k miles.. also spark plugs and wires are new

 

my first 240 had clicking too, especially when im turning at 40-60 mphs. not turning as in a full turn, just turning cuz the road goes in a curve. it just gets louder as i turn the steering wheel.
