clicking

i went outside to start my car so it would b warm when i got ready to leave for school. well i started it and got out. once i got out i noticed that it would idle a lil bit, jump up in rpms, make a clickin noise, and then go back to normal idle. it quit after doin this 2 or 3 times so is anything i should worry about?

Mine was the lifters and was only because the car wasnt run recently. If it goes away once the car warms up, its prolly the same. __________________ http://www.angelfire.com/pro2/shadowx/mustang_pics

mine clicks cuz i got a manifold leak on the passenger side. it quiets down when it warms up but u can still hear a faint leak when ur in a drive thru or something.

if its lifters. running 1L of ATF fluid in your motor about 250-300 miles before your oil change might free it up and unstick it. they tick because they collapse because of crud blocking the oil passage in them.

cold don't cause ticks. using improper viscosity oil for your weather or season does.

They ride on top of your camshaft, push up via a pushrod, to a rocker arm, where the rocker arm pushes the valve open, exhaust valve, or intake valve. They use the oil in a hydraulic fashion to keep the pushrod/rocker arm clearance tight. When a car gets COLD, this clearance increases. Eventually the car warm's up, the lifter's do their job better, and no noise. __________________ http://www.angelfire.com/pro2/shadowx/mustang_pics

hence the thinner oil if its cold out. helps prevent the lifters from ticking on start. i know how lifters work

thats why i recommended the ATF fluid to clean them up maybe they r sticking.

they must be dirty or oil isnt getting there because of viscosity issues or something. i say this because i live in canada it was -15 this morning and the only tick i have is an exhaust leak that is gone in like 2 seconds. also i have a escort with lifters and there is no tick when i start that in the cold. and they dont tick from the factory when its new and its a cold start. so the tick is caused by something besides the cold IMO im sure his car was tick free at some time in its life.
