Asked by Jerry Sep 18, 2018 at 12:52 AM about the 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My car is making a small tick that gets
louder when it gets hot and im losing power
as well ive been told i have bent valves or a
bad top end or a lifter has collapsed or a bad
catalytic converter that could be causing a
small exhaust leak wich makes it sound like
its ticking what could it be
I tend to believe the top of the engine having a problem but a small leak at the cat won't cause a power loss
Sounds like a top end issue with either lifters, valves, rods, etc. Minor "ticks" are not serious but if it gets progressively louder, you may want to have it addressed by a reputable mechanic. The higher the mileage of the car, the more likely that things like this will develop.
