Much appreciated...  |
Engine ticking could be lifter noise or a list of other things. Check engine light comes on for 600 plus different reasons.
The reason it wont come out of gear is the interlock is not functioning. This could be caused by a failed brake lamp switch or there could be soda pop spilled down into the shifter that when it becomes a hard syrup like substance will not allow the interlock to release.
