Ticking Noise In the Engine
So driving home last night I started to hear a ticking noise. This is the first time I've heard the noise. The car ticks all the time, but its louder when accelerating. I brought it to my local mechanic. He listened to it. He also used a stethoscope to listen to the engine. He said in different gears the sound seems to be coming from different places. He doesn't have much knowledge about these cars so he couldn't give me an answer as to what was causing the problem. I've done some reading on here and from what I can understand I may be looking at the lifter tick problem.
Now understand I paid for $650 for this car about a year ago. Since then I've had to spend over $1700 in repairs on this car including a transmission replacement. So I'm really not looking forward to spending another small fortune on my car.
