Ive got this ticking noise throughout the rev range..its only very light but i can hear it.. it sounds like its coming from the dash somewhere but not sure..
it happes about 85% of the time..
any ideas? its really bugging me
its a 88 ef-7 crx with ZC motor
open the engine bay , get a friend to slowly rev it in neutral (or slowly move the throttle via ur hand) and try to distinguish where the noise is coming from...the head ? the gearbox ? The bottom end ?
Could be injectors , could be valves out of whack / too tight/loose , could be main bearing , could be a ISB , could be your pressure plate , could be a mouse with a drumstick !
From experience, on my car it was the clutch bearing and the dizzy bearing.
Just age of the car, normal wear and tear so I had to get those replace.
Took me ages to figure it out myself.
Take your car to a mechanic, as it could be anything.
Could just be noisey lifters or maybe a noise speedo cable, is the car behaving badly?
Hard to tell with noise stuff, might have to goto a place to get them to have a free quote!
actually it does sounds like the speedo cable
i might pull it apart..
the car is driving fine just that noise gets to me..
thanks though.. i will check it our and report back
