My 2003 ford explorer ticks when its running idle, w/ heat off when it gets close to 2-3000 roms tge ticking gets louder. what could it be?

A ticking noise at idle I am going say your valves.There is someting going on with the lifter,The nuts that secure one of the rocker arm maybe loosen out, also make sure the sparkplugs are secured and are tightened up.

Ticking under the hood.

I kind of had the same problem with my car, the dealer kept saying it was nothing wrong with the vehicle and that the ticking noise would fix itself electronically. Wrong, it was my valves needed adjustment and that ticking noise was never going to be fixed electronically.
