would any one know what would cause a motor to tick. i dont think its the lifters cause it doesnt get louder when you accelerate. just when you are in idle. it sounds like a pen tapping a table. and i repeats itself.

Is it only there when the engine is cold?

remove your serp. belt and start the car....if the noise goes away then its most likley one of your accessories.
could be your crank shaft/pulley. I had a similar sound and I ended up replacing smog pump, alternator and water pump before I found out it was the crank.

Could be a loose spark plug.
