    I did a search on here and this sounds like my problem. Lately when its cold (sign 1) its been making a consistant ticking noise (2) that seems to get louder (3) when i drive it around and it goes away after its warmed up a few min (4).

    It shot me an check engine light once that said cylinder 6 was misfiring, at the time i was thinking i had a coil issue so i swapped coils around and was hoping to get another check engine light with a different cylinder. Now i can't get it to give me another cel and the problem is still presisting.

    Ive read on here a few things about how to fix but figured i would ask again. Its got a filter from Auto zone, i got with regular quakerstate oil (it was the curent special). This is after i figured out that the pcv valve was missing and fixed a vaccum hose. Well the car ran great for about 5 days and now this. When i changed the oil i put a can of RESTORE in it (might have been a mistake).

    Here are the fixes i have read: change oil filter, seafoam, oil stablizer. Anything else? Also how often do lifters wear out on these? Not very often i would guess?
