Got a constant ticking in engine
I just bought my 02 Ford Mustang 3 months ago.
When I bought it, when I fired the engine at the lot,
it made a loud ticking noise. It had 120k on the
Odometer, when I start the car, it makes a rapid
ticking noise, as it sits at idle, it gets quieter, it only
gets worse when I hit the accelerator. The day I
bought it, I took it to the nearest Jiffylube, and they
came up with a massive list of problems, the
specialist that checking my car, for emissions told
me it was a bad lifter. But never told me how to
replace it. And my car has been losing power in the
last few months, when I first drove it home from
the dealer, it had a ton of power. Now I feel like I'm
driving a ford festiva or a pinto. That's the only way
I can explain the loss in power, I'm considering
getting new plugs and a tuneup here in the coming
weeks once I get my taxes back. If there's any
information or advice any of you can help me out
with, it would be appreciated.
