open the hood and listen to what area it's coming from. Ticking can be many things. Help us narrow it down for you.
Record it and post it :P

could be an exhaust leak...... do a cold start up and run your hand around the Manifold.. feel for leaks.... I had a similar issue back in the day.... it was a smoked mani gasket...
