loud low rpm engine tick
#11
#13
I have the same ticking. When accelerating slowly I can hear it if I'm next to a curb or something. So far I have no codes and everything runs smooth as butter.
If it helps any I have an x-pipe and those are notorious for making a slight ticking sound from what I've read around the internets.
Also my other car (GM brand) has a confirmed leak right in front of the cats and this makes a definate ticking sound.

You may want to have the dealer inspect it, just to prevent any long-term issues. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks Natasha, will do.
Also keeping on original topic, I checked out TSB - 05-15-8 and it says that the VCT will tick when the engine is at operating temp and at idle through1200 RPM. This is exactly what I experience...around 1200 RPM it goes away.

Anyways, it's considered normal and I haven't seen anything with regard to long term problems (wear).
