Ticking in engine

I just replaced the water pump on a '88 yota 22r. Now I have a ticking noise coming from the alternator side of the engine. Sounds like electricity arching and not so much a metal tapping. Any ideas on how to pin point it.

Run your hands over all the wiring and see which one shocks you.:hillbill:
or Look for it at night with all the lights off you may see the arc.

Use the finger test!!!! I'm sure it will be a lightening experience we all would enjoy watching!!!

RMA has it correct though...turn the lights off and feel around a bit. Could also be a plug wire arcing.

I found the problem, about 4" of the alternator belt had sheered off causing the noise.

That's not as exciting as I was hoping...:yawn: at least you found the issue and it's an easy fix.
