Default Clicking noise when first moving my car in morning

When I first start my car in the morning, everything is fine. I let it warm up, back out, and go. When I first go in the morning, the car clicks as it's going. After a few minutes, it quits. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Thanks!

I had an LS integra that did the same thing. I changed the timing belt, water pump, and adjusted the valves and then had no more problems with the noise, my GSR just started doing the same thing so i guess i'll be doing this procedure on that car aswell.

Could be the valves, injectors or 'piston slap'. All are pretty common noises on Honda I-4s when cold (and sometimes even warm). I'd adjust the valves and see if that helps.

The clicking noise is only when I start to move, not Revving the motor up.

It's not too cold hear in VA Beach.
