Grinding sounds?!

So I started up my LX the other day for a short drive to pick my friend up. I noticed that as I accelerated it sounded like something was grinding against something...I parked it in his driveway and popped the hood, I had my friend rev the engine a few times to see if it still made the sound. No dice. I have no idea what it could be! Also I hear this like "ticking" sound in the car when I'm driving, also a new sound for me (Had the car for 13 years and never noticed it before) and i again got out popped the hood to see if I could identify it. Still no luck.

Any ideas?!! :confused: :confused:
 
time-delayed bering failure?

The ticking sound is probably the fuel pump, and, unless it's really loud, not to be worried about. Jack-up the ends of the car and turn the wheels by hand and see if you get a grinding sound. If that doesen't work, put it on jack stands and run it in gear. You should be able to find the noise. Or, you could just keep driving; you'll find out what it is sooner or later.
