I have a 98 Contour, 98,000 mi. In the morning I hear a bit of tapit noise until the car is warm. The noise will be gone all day but returns when the vehicle sits for 12 or so hours. Is there an adjustment for this?

You should also look for a small exhaust leak if it sounds more like a tick rather than a tap. Exhaust leaks do sound like tick, tick, tick, tick... and it does go away when warmed up. Places to check would be flanges and gaskets.
