Why does my car make a ticking sound?

Ticking sounds in an engine are commonly caused by a lack of lubrication. Lubricants such as oil and fuel flow between metallic components and provide cushioning so that the parts do not tap against one another. Ticking or tapping noises can come from several different sources, including the lifters, valves and fuel injectors.
