Default Need help with ticking sound...

Okay, to start I have a 95 B18C1 in a 92 vx. When I'm idle for example at a stop light I hear this loud ticking sound from the underside of my car. It sounds like its coming from the rear, near the exhaust. It sounds like the ticking sound you would hear from your car as it cools when you turn it off, but a little louder. Anyone have an idea what it could be? If it means anything, I am throwing a CEL, but I think it has something to do with my O2 sensor. Any info is appreciated. TIA

Have you jumped the service harness to see what code(s) are stored? It's hard to help or suggest anything when we don't know the codes

Both codes are for the O2 sensor. I noticed you have a VX model which requires a wiring fix for the O2 sensor. Here's a writeup I did a while back: VX 4 Wire O2 Wiring
