So you are saying the sound is comming from around the starter area?
A little more description on what ticking means would help.
How often?
When it is running? Does it change with engine speed?
Does it do it when in gear and in neutral as well?

crank sensor is on the drivers side-- cam sensor is on the passenger side where a distributor would be located on older models.
I've heard the canister purge valve make ticking sounds on many of the newer ones-- located just above the heater blower motor.

Probably a loud purge solenoid. Part of the evaporative emissions control. Some are louder than others.

That'd be my bet. I can' hear out of one ear so sounds come from only one side. Only a stethoscope can tell you for sure. 3 feet of small dia. hose, one end in your ear (watch out for rotating engine parts).
