Loud Ticking Noise after shutting the car off
Hi all,
Before I get flamed, yes I did a search on the ticking noise, but nobody seemed to clarify when they heard it- whether it was while driving or after shutting the car off.
So I decided to ask:
After I shut my car off, I hear a LOUD ticking noise for a bit. I think Ive been good about letting it cooldown- but this noise is starting to worry me. Only started happening for .. i dunno... the last 5- maybe 10k miles?
Any info on what this might be would be greatly appreciated. Thx

I have the same issue. After I turn off my car, as soon as the engine is off, I get a ticking noise for 2-3 seconds. It almost sounds like a fan blade hitting something is it turns. I haven't had a chance to really look at where this noise is coming from. It happens 75% of the time when I turn the car off.
Any help appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I had a similar problem not to long ago. I was getting a rattling for a few seconds after shutting the car down. Frustrated the hell out me...turns out my UR high-flow cat was bad. The honeycombs had become loose and were shaking around inside the cat.
Not saying this is your problem, but perhaps something to consider.

Not sure I have had 2 evos and they both have done it. I am by no means a mechanic. I have tried to trace it down a few times my self and it sounds like it is comming from that selinoid. Maybe someone who does this for a living can chime in and let us know.

It is the ABS Solenoids resetting, it is a random, non-rhythmic tick and click for a few seconds after shutoff. My car started doing after 15k miles. It is normal and nothing to worry about.
