First,check to make sure that you have enough oil in the engine.second,that oil is pumping up to the lifters. and last, if everything is ok, you might want to add some type of oil additive to see if that quiets them

My engine is making clicking noises when I start it. This lasts for about 10 minutes.

Sounds like a lifter hasn't pumped up . Put an additive in the engine oil that quiets noisy lifters. Any auto parts store or even walmart has it.

Noise from engine no lights on

Lifters are bad..I doubt if it is a rod.. that is why there are lifters to keep it quiet and prevent rod failure.

2001 Buick Lesabre lifters noisy

Have you tried flushing the engine crank case? You may have sludge clogging the valve lifter oil pressure ports. Get a can of Berrymans brand Chemtool, add it to a cold engine crankcase oil and run it for 5 miles or so, then change the oil and see if the noise level improves. Some tapping noise on cold start is normal and not a sign of any problem. If the noise goes away in my opinion I'd just do the flush of the system and then leave it alone.

I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma. During the last 2 months when I start the truck in the morning I hear a "tac, tac, tac, tac ...." noise for 30s to 1 min than it stops when I drive away. This...

This is most likely a noisy lifter (or valve tappet). In cold weather, the clearances in the valve train open up because metal contracts due to the cold. Once the oil pressure comes up after start the noise goes away because the larger clearance fills with oil and the lifter becomes "cushioned" with the oil. The proper fix is to have the valves adjusted. I believe in your model, that is done by putting shims on the lifters. This will quiet the noisy lifters. In the short term, you can try using a lighter weight oil for cold weather. This will get the oil to the lifters faster after start up and quiet the tapping more quickly. Once the weather warms again, shift back to the normal weight.

All lifters started clicking at once

Sounds more likely to be a timing rattle rather then all the lifters at once making noise, if your EGR valve is bad this will happen and if the timing is off it will also do this, I can't buy the theory all 16 hydraulic lifters are noisey unless you over reved it something fierce, or ran it out of oil, or had someone loosen all the rockers.
Happy Motoring!!

I have a 2002 dodge dakota when i start it theres a clickin noise sounds like a lifter or a exhaust leak but it quits when it gets warm

it could be either,you need to trace noise before it warms up,the only exhaust that will make that type of sound would be a exhaust manifold leak,if the noise is the top half of the engine,take a long extension and touch along the valve covers and hold it to your ear,just touching your ear.
