for the past 2 weeks or so the engine has been making a clicking noise while running or off, like the noise when the A/C turning on. i notice this when the weather started to get colder. so could it just be the cold weather and the engine getting settled? nothing happens when the noise happens, i just find it weird. so is this just engine getting settled?( 900mil on the engine now )

I would suggest running the motor and having the hood open. Listen and try to locate where the clicking is coming from. My wife's car does the same thing, before it gets warmed up.
