Hello,
Yes I am a noobie, but I need to get past all of that right now. I need this question answered relatively quick. So here we go:
This would be a sunfire with a recent engine swap. The engine that was swapped into the sunfire was a 2.2L out of a truck (s-10 maybe) from a junkyard with about 37K on it. The reason it was in the junkyard is unknown. With the new engine in the sunfire and running there is a ticking noise coming from down by the alternator, almost underneath the car (as described). My initial thought was serpentine belt, but thats not it because it is fairly new. The ticking does not speed up or slow down with engine rev's, it stays consistent. Also, after driving it seemed to get louder. Any thoughts on what it could or could not be?
