I have a ticking coming from my engine. I have heard about some unit near the firewall that could be causing this but I do not think this is my problem. I have also heard about having the valves adjusted but is this a real thing and does it work? Any other ideas that could be the problem, its a ticking that sounds like valves (RPM dependent) when its warm, any ideas? Thanks.

 

Well if its not the purge control solenoid, its most likely a exhaust leak or the valves. Yes valve adjusting is real. It really not something to try to DIY unless you know what your doing. Id get an opinion from a mechanic as to what it is. Our motors have been known to tick somethat

 

I would not attempt this myself, I would have a Acura/Honda dealer do it for me (no Acura dealer in my city, is Honda qualified to do it?).

 

yea but if your still under warranty they wont cover it under warranty
