It has to do with the evap system more than likely and if it's the one I'm thinking of its a purge valve.

A ticking is better then a thunking cause i had a thunking and it was a bad cylinder, drove her till she died though. Rolled to the entrance to my girls housing development and sat there for like 2 hours speechless. She came and joined me in my mourning over the death of the engine.
