Apr 18, 2014 - My engine has developed a strange ticking sound. Its whisper-quiet before an oil change, and then makes a loud tapping ... Even more strange: The engine is muffled when its cold but noisy when its warm. .... Whether they were great or not, these cars have some cool names. By Collin Woodard · Trucks.

yes chevys 3.4 and 3.5 have common lifter noise, have you checked the oil level. I would a better oil ,and I put lucas oil treat in my customers cars after oil changes

ok the ticking noise is your lifters and you try and use a thicker weight oil in it it should go away

First check for any cracked pipes leading into the intake manifold If all OK (with no codes showing it probably is OK) try checking the fuel pressure regulator. If you smell fuel from the pressure regulator vacuum side arm (when the vacuum line has been disconnected) it needs to be replaced.

If it runs ok cold and worsens as the engine warms up or when you accellerate hard the catylitic converter is stopped up.

it may need a lifter or valve adjustment when cold they will tick or knock depending on how loose or worn out then when it warms up they swell with heast and noise stops. after adjusting or replacing it will stop making noise

Easy way- replace whole axel housing from junkyard slice axels with torch or sawsall to remove posi unit then reassemble.sorry cann't think of any other way

This is a common complaint. What it is is the a lifter making noise because it has lost its prime (oil that is supposed to stay in the lifter to keep it lubricated). To make the noise stop try using some Lucas Oil Treatment or oil stabilizer. You can pick this up at your local Advance, Napa Auto, or Auto Zone parts dealer.

Hope my advice is helpful and you get your S10 in tip top shape.

You might have computer problems.

Does the check engine light come on when it starts to miss?
