I hear it's common for ^^ cars to make that "tick, tick, tick, tick" sound, mine makes it once I start the engine, and after I let it heat up for a while. When i step on the gas when its not all that heated up, it makes more of a grinding sound along with a tick as i press the gas pedal. usually I just let it heat up and although the ticking doesnt go away completely, it's not nearly as noticeable as when I first start up so it doesnt really interfere with driving itself. I've been told it's the lifters/valves. Just wondering if anyone else has/had familiar problems with their mitsubishi?
