A ticking underneath my car???

I called my dealer today because this morning, my car had a light ticking underneathe my car.....toward the back. The dealer said it is an emission solinoid. IS HE FEEDING ME A SHIT BURGER, or telling the truth?

You mean when the engine is off and the car is parked?

It was this morning when it was cold, but it went away after driving for a couple minutes. I've noticed a couple of times before though...ITS REALLY light, but you can still hear it sometimes.

I was told that's your engine cooling off, that ticking noise is either oil settling in the pan or your exhaust cooling off. That's what I was told by my neighbor, a mechanic/

Your mech is right if you had an 80's car...ours doesn't have that tick sound for whatever reason, rubber seals make less noise. I think there is something else, it could be a fanbelt warming or the car retaining the warm air to heat the engine for better performance. Carborated cars did a similar thing to retain heat in cold weather.
