Some more info would be helpful. Do you have an SE or GXE? If its and SE, then you may have a faulty VTC, if its a GXE, then it might be broken exhaust manifold studs. When do you hear the ticking? As its just idling, or when you excellerate mostly? Do a search on those two subject and im sure you'll find a lot of info.

Could be:
-broken exhaust studs (sound will change volume, sound, etc as engine warms up)
-valve lifter(s) shot. Loud ticking, not too sure what else... maybe performance loss. Hope it's not this.
-fuel injectors. If it's fairly quiet and only really noticable if you open the hood, it's normal. They tick lightly as they open and close.
