i have a questions, when i drove my '05 for a while and let it idle afterwards, it makes ticking noises. does anyone have the same problem?? thanx

 

Your car has a bad starter bolt.
Its too tight.

 

how do i loosen it?

 

Could be the CAT ticking.

 

issit normal for the CAT to tick??

Im sorry, I was being "smart"
Its normal. Your pipes(exhaust) are just ticking and every new owner makes a thread of how their car makes a strange sound.

 

Unless its excessively loud you have nothing to worry about. It could be your exhaust pipes contracting as earlier mention or more likely your valvetrain since they are notoriously loud in our engines. If it is the exhaust pipes, the noise will continue even after the car is shut off. If you are truly worried about it take it to the dealership and let them diagnose it for free while its still under warranty.

 

thanx alot guys. i appreciate it. and true, i'm a new peoud owner of the '05. hahaha

 

maybe you are just hearing the injectors
