yeah, i have some sort of ticking noise under the hood, but last time i was at the dealer getting the battery replaced, i had them look at it, and the guy said all he heard was a possible exhaust leak.. everything else sounded normal. but i do have a sort of 'ticking' noise, its not as bad as my soon-to-be father in-laws 98. his is HORRIBLE.

I had a ticking noise in the top end that was progressively getting worse. I decided to start my search to cure it with a spark plug change. geared up to handle the serious task that most have with this engine soaked the plugs and then prepared to hear the screeching sound that everyone can hear on multiple YouTube videos only to find that my spark plugs were about to fall out on their own. 5 out of 8 were barely hand tight. Replaced all 8 plugs adding never seize and dielectric grease. Luckily my top end noise is now gone and my lost fuel economy has been found. Remember don't always assume the worst. Start with the most obvious
