97' Tbird 4.6L
I've tried researching the issue, but nothing i've read on here seems to be identical to my issue.
The engine ticks noticably when im stopped, or in neutral idling. Its about as loud as a wind up clock. Seems to be coming from the rear of the engine.... No loss of performance, no CEL, no codes stored, no drivability issues, no funny smells, fuel economy is normal, oil consumption is basically non-existent, coolant level is where its supposed to be.. Just, an annoying ticking sound.
Recently I had the car in for new catalytic converters, and despite trying to fish for issues (as shops love to do...) there was no mention of the ticking noise on the suggested repairs sheet.
* solved *
Sound was due to a spark plug not being tightened right which let just enough pressure escape that the boot began to back out causing the noise mentioned. If experiencing a similar issue check your plugs/boots.
