ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING - EXHAUST SYSTEM - EMISSION CONTROL

 Since purchasing my 2002 grand cherokee ltd in october of 2001 there has been a ticking sound coming from the engine. we first brought the car in on 01/17/2002 to report this and the dealer said they could not reproduce it. on 06/27/2003 we brought it in again - this time the dealer said that the ticking is normal for the purge solinoid valve on the 2002 jeep grand cherokee. the ticking is supposedly caused because the housing around the emissions stuff is not insulated. the noise is very irritating and is especially loud in the cooler months. *jb a suggestion was made to turn on the radio - wow - what a solution. i do wonder if this is the real reason or - like the heater/blower - will this fail now that the warranty has expired?
