Exhaust leak.

 

But the thing is when it gets hot it stops.

 

Is your AIR system still on the engine?

 

Uh this may make me sound like a tardo but what do you mean bye that.

 

can any one help me out

 

AIR system....aka Smog Pump.


To be more specific (assuming yours is still on the car) there is a little black box-like device...or diverter with two hoses running out of it.

The hoses route air from the pump to the exhaust manifolds(cold engine) or the catalytic converter(warm engine) for emissions purposes.

A loose or leaky hose may be causing the ticking sound you are referring to.

 

I have a ticking sound that stops when it gets hot also. I've dismissed it as an exhaust leak that goes away when everything heats up and expands.

Yea i have all my smog on minus the cat. this is cali we are talking about.
