I have to answer that question with a question, do you have any enemies? Other than that your ticking wasn't clarified, where sound is coming from, is it coming from underneath after you've driving it = catalytic converter burning off deposits or tin shroud cover on exhaust same are cooling off. A steady ticking from engine when it is running may indicate a failing rocker arm or hydraulic lifter, 1/2 a quart of tranny fluid added to engine oil usually quiets hydraulic lifter problems. If engine is missing the ticking can be the sound of spark jumping from sparkplug wires to metal, open the hood at night and with engine running look for sparks, if v6, you may need a mechanics mirror to see over back side of engine to watch for sparks jumping. There are also other possibilities depending on where sound is coming from such as a rock in brakes, or snow studs in tires clicking on pavement. There could be a cricket inside your van, this sound would subside in a few hours in hot sun with windows rolled up. Someone who drives van maybe lost their alarms clock in the seats, the one they take to work each day to sleep on the job, I've seen that happen before. I hope all this info will assist you in how to find your ticking sound

Makes a ticking sound until the engine warms up. ... If I put the truck in park and rev the engine, it doesn't make the ticking noise, but if I put it in ... Even doing an inspection on my truck didn't show the crack in mine last year.
Apr 18, 2014 - My engine has developed a strange ticking sound. Its whisper-quiet before an oil change, and then makes a loud tapping ... Even more strange: The engine is muffled when its cold but noisy when its warm. .... Whether they were great or not, these cars have some cool names. By Collin Woodard · Trucks.
could be anything from belt noise to lifter tick to rod knock..lifter tick is under the valve covers..rod knock sounds like hitting the block with a hammer..if its rod knock see what your oil pressure is.. should be around 30 to 45 psi cold..warm will be as low as 15..depending on oil type..most lifters can be adjusted by removing the cover and doing adjusting depending on the vehicle..good luck
injectors will tick every time they spray fuel in.if this is a front wheel drive car, sometimes the top motor mount bushings go bad and will clunk when put in reverse.
Exhaust leaks,like a manifold or loose plug will sound like a tick inside the car,if it is louder when it is cold,suspect something more serious ,like a piston. if the tick only happens when u turn,it's an axle joint.
Hi,yes your engine does have a timing belt inside,shoul cost from $150,00 to$ 250,00 to replace ,be sure you take it to a recogniced shop, to get it check ,and to have the work done,.may be something else making that .(.noise.) good luck......
