there is a fan thats ticking and it gets faster the more gas i give it any one know what it would cost to fix it or just replace it message me back on hear or email me Jpawloski5@yahoo.com

 

What location in the car is the fan/ticking coming from?

 

mine does it to once in a while. i can spin it by hand and here the tick sound. dont see nothing in it. cant hear it till you turn the car off and its spinning to a stop.

 

Is it hitting the shroud or a hose?

 

If it gets faster when you rev the engine, then it's probably not a fan. The cooling fans behind the radiator are electric. If the ticking sound is coming from under the hood, it could be any number of things driven by the belts...

A/C compressor and/or clutch
idler pulley
Power steering pump
alternator

or a other internal engine noises like

water pump
timing chain
cam/tappet
piston slap
connecting rods


You're going to have to get your head under the hood and try to narrow it down a bit more. Try it with A/C on or off. Steering wheel straight ahead vs turned one side or another. Front of engine or back? Driver side or passenger? Worse when hot or cold?

How old is the car? Mileage? Any maintenance done recently? Any parts replaced already?

 

its only when the car is on

 

ok tomorrow when its light out ill check it out i appreciate the feedback guys thanks

 

Well that certainly narrows it down, lol.

 

Hi all did OP ever figure out what was causing the issue? I am having a similar symptom. I believe it happens only when under load. Car actually driving as opposed to just revving while stationary in neutral. Ticking noise appears to change with gas pedal.

I am not sure if it only happens with AC on. It may happen with either on or off. But, sometimes goes away when turning off AC. Yeah I know kinda vague but looking for any and all suggestions. Car is 2004, 59k miles so not looking to pay an arm and a leg at a Nissan stealership. I was going to start with changing the belts since they are old.
