RE: I finally figured out what the clciking noise in the engine is!
? Which pulley? Why is it constantly starting and stopping?
I'm curious, because before I put mine in storage for winter, it ran perfect, I've started it every 2 weeks since, and all of a sudden 4 days ago, it started clicking and clacking like the lifters are flat.
(Does the 4.6L even have lifters w/overhead cams?)

could it be your AC compressor going on and off, cause that clicks.

Mine does this also...
It is the AC compressor cycling on and off. Keeps the compressor from siezing. Here is a line from the 05 shop manual"To reduce fogging the A/C compressor will operate automatically, regardless of indicator status, if the outside temperatureis above approx. 2 deg/C or 35 F.

Thats the AC compressor. If you have your selector set on any form of AC or Defrost, then the comp. cycles on and off as mentioned before. No worry's
