I have a 1992 Ford F150 V8, 302 engine. There is a ticking noise in the right side of the engine compartment under the hood. I lifted the hood and cannot hear the noise, I raised the RPM and still could not hear the noise. When I get in the truck and drove down the road, sounds like a cross between a valve ticking a fuel injector or an exhaust leak. I hear the noise, it only ticks under a load. I have changed the exhaust manifold gaskets on both sides, donuts on right and left side and put a new muffler on the truck. engine seems fine, just still has the ticking noise. Any suggestions?

May be mice, but I had a truck that did that from a worn speedo cable.

Ford f150 4wd ticking doesn't do it when first started ticks in park and at stop quits in reverse quits when acceleration comes back as smooth out driving back of motor or in transmission

Ticking like that is normally the valve lifters. Make sure the oil is up to the correct level. Try adding a can of STP Oil treatment. It should quieten it. The ticking stops under load and as the revs rise. The valve lifter are hydraulically adjusted by the oil pressure.

It is a known issue

There should be a diagram of the belt path on inside of the engine compartment. It will be on the under side of the hood or right by the latch.

Where is the turn signal relay on an escort 1992

you have a fuse box under the dash and a fuse/relay box under the hood.
Althou many cars will place the flasher/blinker relay under the dash near the brake pedal, and still, some are behind the radio (farther back and close to the floor)
here is the relay you are looking for.

You can turn on the hazard flashers and listen for the ticking sound the flasher makes. Follow the sound and look for a small round or square piece. (the flasher)
You should have one for blinkers and one for hazards.
This flasher is most often the problem.
Relay may be in the area if not under hood.

What is the plug gab for a 1992 Ford F150 stepside, 351m v8

Hi,

It is always best to check right under the hood. Ford trucks state the gap for the plugs and emission stuff under the hood over the radiator. Have a look, hopefully it is there.
