do you live somewhere cold?my 2004 makes some engine noise in the morning because its 20 below zero outside.other than it being cold I dont know what would make it do the noises in the morning.

Alternator, Carborator?















The cold weather could have something to do with it if your oil's too old.















Also check the timing belt.

Is it a loud ticking noise that goes away as you drive for a couple of miles or less? If so I would say you are using the wrong oil filter. Since you did not say what car you have its only a guess. But on a lot of Japanese motors there is a anti bleed back valve built into the filter if you use a cheap filter the valve does not hold pressure over night and when you start the car it takes a few minutes to build back up the oil pressure.

Car needs to warm up for a litttle.

a cold engine isn't lubricated well yet because the oil hasnt reached the camshaft, pistons, lifters,etc. to prevent damage to your engine ALWAYS let the car idle for a few minutes before you travel. this will allow full lubrication. make sure their is oil in the car in the first place! check your owners manual and make sure you are using the correct weight.

Either you have a big hole in your exhaust, or your pushing 500 HP with tubed headers, Or the oil needs to be a little lighter.
