I went looking for the source of the ticking under my hood (thinking flex plate or evap system solenoid) and found that it was this solenoid - the grey one in the middle of the pic. Anybody know what it is? I'm guessing something to do with the timing.

That's the cam shaft position sensor.

That's what you get instead of the distributor on late models.
