Well the lifter tick is during a cold start up and about 2 minutes later or so it disappears then when its warmed up it starts doing what I mentioned above but the lifter tick is minimal... like I said just during cold start up. But I managed to do some research while at work and it could possibly be the spark plugs according to a few DSM FAQ I ran into. Spark plugs can cause the stuff I mentioned above and them being gapped wrong. So I'm going to pick up the right set of plugs whether the car has the right ones or not. I'll gap them and put them in then see what happens. That will be my mission when I get off of work. Hopefully thats the cause.
