Air Valve/ Tapping noise
Hey guys, trying to figure out the tapping noise that seems to be coming from the air valve next to the valve cover. The tapping noise sounds similar to valve tappping when low on oil but it doesn't increase with rpm and it varies in speed. It will start off a valve tapping pace and then it will double up then triple its pace and then go away all together. It also seems to go away when I get on the gas and start moving but that could be that I can no longer hear it over the increased rpms and road noise. Another thing to note is that my oil light flickers on and off at an idle as well but also goes away when I get on the gas.
Any Ideas?

@DooDer realize this thread is from ages ago but did you ever solve the issue?
I’m having the same problem on my ‘04, 162k miles. Replaced oil pump, front seal, main pulley. Also been having issues with it starting - turns over strong just not igniting. Oil light comes on after heats up and will go away with rpm’s above 1300. High frequency ticking coming from idle air control valve that changes in frequency and comes/goes while running…
