    Another noob here with problems.

    After about 10-15 minutes of driving you can hear this weird ticking noise coming from the front of the car, anyone know what this could be? Heres a video..

    Have Autozone or somebody scan the code and report that to us and get a video of the engine while its running and post it up.

    Sounds like rod knock to me.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I just hear clicking.

    Rod knock would have already killed that motor.

    It's too hard for me to say what it is, I'd have to have it on a lift to check everything out.
