Re: Cruiser engine makes ticking sound
Markwin,
I'm sorry, but glad too, to hear that someone else is having the same issue with their PT.
I have a 2005 PT Limited Turbo and I'm having the same problem that you mentioned. When it rains or is damp out, I have the same ticking noise. Even if I haven't driven since the day before.
A friend at work (part-time mechanic) told me that it could be a ignition issue. He advised taking a spray bottle and misting the engine in the dark. He claims that a bad wire, or other ignition problem, may be visible. The dampness causes an arc point. Although, I am not noticing any hesitation and I just changed plugs and wires with no change to the noise. I haven't tried his suggestion yet.
Recently, this has changed to sound more like a squeak. Once I drive it a bit, it disappears. I'm starting to suspect a belt or bears on a pulley.
Anyone having this problem also? Know of a fix?
