The ticking could be a spark jumping from the wire to the engine. Have a look a night, with no light under the hood, you might see a spark.

Be careful, if you grab the wire near a break and the engine is runnin, you could get the 20,000 volts that were meant for the spark plug. Quite a nasty jolt!

Best Regards,
Jim
