Maybe that body in the trunk isn't dead after all???

Dude, any guesses on the internet are going to be people pulling answers out of their rectums.
My completely off the wall guess is that you might have a valve tap. But if you've got a very slow tuck tuck vice a fast tuck tuck, you don't have a valve tap. Are you starting to see the problem with how you asked the question?

I looked online it could mean that starter might be going out but the turns on while it is on you hear tuck tuck noises from the engine.This sound was never there I just started hearing this new noise.

Scan all modules with a BT tool or take it in.

No sense replacing things one at a time when the shop or a BT can figure it out straight away.

Just putting in my 2 cents.. Mines was dong that recently (not sure if it's the same sound or not), randomly though.. when I do a cold start and let it idle for about 5-10 minutes, I would hear a ticking ticking noise.

After researching the forum, other people was having the same problem, they stated it was the lifters..I brought mines into the dealer they looked at the lifters, of course the sound does not occur. So they said mines was perfectly fine.. another few weeks goes by the same sound appears again. I found another post, someone stated that the noise went away after he topped off his oil..I recently did an oil change and made sure I used all 7 quarts. The sound has not come back since. So I guess you can try to top off your oil. assuming that this is the fix.
