Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting ticking

if there is a ticking that is pretty fast coming from the passenger side of your vehicle in the engine compartment, it is probably your timing belt.

It's not the fuel injectors - I use a bottel of cleaner with every oil change.

The ticking becomes more rapid with increased throttle.

I can't narrow down which side it's coming from, but it's loudest from the front lower with the hood closed than the wheel wells.

Guess it must be a belt.

Thanks for the info.

i had a 98 styque before my svt, and i had the same ticking, and it was the alt pully, but my serp belt was also shot.....
