Engine tick after cold start
Guys one of our brothers from the states (Des Moines, Ia) posted this question.
"ok guys i know its really not a lifter and all... just tryin to get some attention ... but when ever its cold and i start the 8 thats exactly what it sounds like... sounds like a lifter is ticking on a non rotary vehicle... it eventually goes away when the vehicle warms up .. like 5 or 10 min ... is this normal ? this is my first cold weather wiht the 8 so pardon my ignorance"

Anyone here in Canada experience such things?
I have not, but my 8 doesn't see too many winter days and is stored in a heated garage.

Guess what, one of the accidents, involved a COROLLA
LOL go figure... (back to my earlier rant on Corolla drivers). It's an '07 model, I have the MS CAI, and it doesn't make that tinkling sound the way it was described. When cold, it makes a very light tinkling sound as if there was something pinging off the cold metal on the intake, but it's nothing serious at all.

My 8 is a daily car. It's seeing winter as we speak. Yesterday at rush hour, massive traffic jam from Jane all the way to Bayview on HWY 7. Along the way, 3 car accidents, the roads were black ice all over. I was moving between 0 - 7km/h no more, all the way across.

LOL Darkbrew. Good stuff.
Mine ticks when I've fired it up the last few days at work. Did the surging revs for a few days (-17 and colder) for a few min, tick for a few min, and then stabilize like normal (or normal for me anyway..
)
Mine's a daily driver too, while she sleeps in a garage at night, she is subject to a cold hard start at work and can make some interesting noises. Not surprising. Its cold out there..!
