good car.

i own a 1993 oldsmobile achieva, when i first got it, it had 64,000 miles on it (about a year or so ago.) i haven't had any problems with mine, except for a few electrical shorts caused by broken wires. the car now has 76k miles on it, and it hasn't needed any work except normal maintenace.

the engine ticking, and i assume you mean a knocking sound, could be caused by old spark plugs, improperly gapped plugs, or a bad crankshaft sensor.

Does the knocking occur on acceleration or deceleration? or is it just constant?
