Loud ticking noise on startup
When the engine is cold and I start it up, there's a loud ticking noise which lasts for a minute or so. I checked the oil level and it's fine. Does anyone have this problem or know whats going on?? Please help.

the same metal parts that cause ticking noise when you turn off the engine can also cause ticking when you start a cold engine. Metal expands and contracts causing the ticking.

I think - and i stress think its the air pump (or some similar device) Mine does the same exact thing.
Just on a side note, whats the temp. when you start the car?

The Loud ticking noise only occurs when the engine has completely cooled, ie. sitting on the driveway over night. It last for about a minute and then goes away. Once the engine is warm, the noise no longer exist.
