ive noticed my car is making a clicking sound whenever i am idling, once the gas is pressed it goes away, anyone out there having the same problem or can anyone tell me what it might be?

 

Chain tensioner or valve adjustment

 

is this something that can be done cheap, it does sound like it is coming from a pulley, but not 100% sure

 

FWIW, when I bought my car a couple months back I was nervous about the ticking. Thought it might be a TCT so I took it into Honda. They said that the ticking I was hearing was valves opening and closing/injectors ticking and that it was normal for s2000 motors to sound this way. As long as it is nothing outrageous (listen on youtube for the TCT) then I wouldn't be too worried. They let me listen to another s2000 on the lot and assured me it was ok .

Personally I think it just comes with having a high revving motor that flows well. I was listening to e46 M3's and they had a similar tick to them.

 

turns out, i took it in to get an oil change and to check the ticking, they changed the oil and the ticking went away, not sure why exactly it had only been 3200 miles since last oil change , but if thats all it was, no complaints, just glad to know its ok

 

Yuup...i agree.

I also got an oil change and my ticking at start-up went away.

 

this right here makes me think that your TCT is bad, a fresh oil change usually helps out but the ticking will come back in about 1000 miles guaranteed

 

Any update on this? I have the same noise, doesn't do it until the engine starts to heat up. Do you reckon its because the wrong viscosity of oil was used? Got it booked in for an oil change 2moro/Thursday so we'll see what happens.

 

i can 99% guarantee you that his problem is hit TCT and a fresh oil change only masks the problem for a couple hundred miles

 

so far ive driven over 500 miles the fun way, and still no more clicking, but i will keep you guys posted if it starts back, hopefully it wont
