Dont know what it is, but i've had only 1 problem with my 14 8V
Normally you'll hear some ticking sound.
1 time I've reached my limitter
The ticking wass verry loud => what I did turn of engine and start => problem solved

Mine ticks on cold startup.
Something to do with the automatic choke or whatever its called. When its cold and the engine runs at about 1100rpm for a few minutes before dropping to idle about 900rpm. Stops ticking then. Get a slight whirring too from something that puts more air into the mixture for this duration i think.

More fuel is added through the ecu/injectors using temperature info from the coolent temperature sensor.
