I have a 1994 Accord EX (auto tranny) and it ticks like crazy. When I turn the car off after driving I hear this ticking noise. I'm not sure if it is coming from under the hood or under the car itself. Also my car tickes when I am turning left and only left. I dono if both ticking sounds are the same or different and I have no idea what the problem(s) could be (n00b = me ) Please help any suggestions on how to fix it or what is making the noises will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

 

you need to narrow it down to where its coming from so i can help you better

i would guess the ticking noise after the car is turned off would be the exhaust shrinking back down to normal size because it heats up and expands. The ticking when you turn could be your wheel bearings or your cv shaft. You gotta tell us more about where its ticking from though.

 

its a BOMB!!!

Nah, just kidding, it could be anything, my old Camry used to do a ticking sound when i turned it off after driving it with either the heater or the AC on, maybe you dont have enough Freeon in gas in your system, which might be causing that, just check for that. But essentially there is nothign wrong with it.

 

is ur oil fresh?

Yeah i did an oil change about 2 weeks ago. My exhaust is trashed so i'm going to replace all of it (headers to exhaust pipe). As for the ticking sound when I turn, I'll take a look at my axles and cv joints and stuff and try and find out what is wrong. Thanks for the input guys!

 

It could also be the CV joint
