Hey im not sure but it might be your lifters. I know in mine thats what the clicks are. Ive heeared the only real way to get rid of them is to replace them with 3rd Gen lifters. But you should also try the search button to make sure my answer is correct.

lifters wont tick after the engine is shut down.


the clicking is likely one of the many solenoids or switches related to the emissions control system, and unless you are throwing check engine lights, not passing emissions tests, or the car is running like crap, i woudnt bother worrying about it.
