What does it mean if your Ford Fusion makes a ticking noise while idling?

I started noticing a ticking noise from the engine of my Ford Fusion whenever I’m idling. What could it be?

A ticking noise while idling in your
Ford Fusion
could mean:
  • Low engine oil
  • A symptom of ignition problems
  • An exhaust leak
You should check up on your Fusion’s engine oil level—if it’s low, the chances are that topping the oil off should be enough to eliminate any obnoxious ticking. If not, you may need to do some further troubleshooting.
