There is a TSP @ Ford that says something about the valves making a ticking at times, but I am not 100% sure...

Is the car still under a warranty of somekind? I would have someone check it out just to make sure...

yea its still under warrenty...its's always made that noise like i said and no codes have ever come up...but i mean its not like a huge noise u know...i can only hear it when the radio is off and it does sound like the valves

Take it in and have it checked out...

Probably valvetrain noise. Mines been doing it for a few years now just too lazy to fix it. You can replace 1/2 to 1 quart of your motor oil with tranny fluid and it can help or you can replace 1 with some brand of pure synthetic oil. Lucas makes a good one. I did that and that took away a lot of it.

Someone told me that sometimes a slight clicking noise indicates a vacuum leak... don't know how true that is.

It can at times...But the car would be surging I believe...

ahhh... well, at least you know what it is now! A hell of a lot better than to still be sitting there scratching your head and wondering what the hell it is... I've been there before and hate it.
