I changed the radiator, water pump, oil twice, and the timing-> (something not the belt or chain) I took it and hooked it up to diagnostics at a part store and the only thing it says on the machine is the intake sensor is bad.. I cant figure it out it hasn't jumped timing it runs fine when u drive it no skipping or anything but when its just idling there is a ticking sound and smoke is coming out not sure from where or why. when I first crank the car up it sputters a bit until it warms up then it just ticks.
The ticking sound maybe from a lifter or the valve lash on one or more lifters is a little loose. As to the smoke you may have a shed roof seal in the head going bad and letting oil into the valve. This would cause the engine to smoke at start up. Not sure this is going to help but gives you a place to start.

hi try getting a service done make sure they use genuine toyota oil and filters
cheers

When you got stuck in the snow did it impact hard (quick stop or small drop like a deeper ditch)? If this is the case it could be the sending unit might have been dammaged in some way. I would have the shop take a look at.
SOURCE: '97 Dodge Dakota 5.2l oil pressure problems
On the 318 (5.2 liter) V-8 that was in my 1973 Dodge Dart Sport, I started having oil pressure problems with valve ticking and clunking around the crankshaft around 173,000 miles. Prior to the problem, I had bought a couple cases of Pennzoil on sale. Needless to say, when I finally dropped the pan, the sludge had baked to a ceramic-like texture. I soaked the pick up screen in solvent to disolve the crud, replaced the oil pump, and replaced the main and rod bearings with undersized bearings (.001" undersized). The oil pressure went up to normal, the valve tick went away, and the clunking on the bottom end went away. The engine felt as tight like new, and should have lasted for another 150,000+ miles if the nitwit I sold it to hadn't wrapped it around a light pole. By the way, don't ever use no-name, Pennzoil or Quaker State motor oil. The minimal savings will cost you in the long run.

This car requires to bleed the air from the sistem, look for a screw at the top of the outlet housing (the top radiator hose).
Also check if the radiator fan is turning on, it should be no later than past the center on the needle gauge .

It is a lifter ticking. They are called hydraulic lifters. They have a spring inside them, when the car is running it builds oil pressure. The oil pressure fills the lifter which gives the lifter a cushion so to speak. When a lifter is worn out it will not hold oil pressure as well as it use to. So I would say it is a lifter ticking. Nothing to be real concerned about. I had an old 6 cylinder that all of the lifters ticked in it and it ran forever. Probably still running somewhere! So it is not really a concern. If you want to you could run 10w40 oil in it, which is a little thicker. This may help.
CAUTION: Pay special attention to the tooth shape of the timing belt. The current timing belts are not interchangeable with the timing belts from the 1993 model year. The 1993 model year uses a square or trapezoidal tooth timing belt while the current model year uses a rounded tooth design. The design change was made to extend the service life of the timing belt from 60,000 miles for the square or trapezoidal toothed belt to 105,000 miles for the rounded tooth belt. If the proper timing belt is not used, the customer may complain of a "whining" noise coming from the engine compartment. If the camshaft sprocket has a square cut in the valley of the gear tooth, it will require a square or trapezoidal tooth timing belt. If the camshaft sprocket has a rounded cut in the valley of the gear tooth, it will require a rounded tooth timing belt. 43 views
