the ticking and the run issues may or may not be related.
the ticking can be a few things lifters adjustment, sticky valve, exhaust leak somewhere who knows?
a compression test will determine if it is a valve issue.

i think if it ran good and suddenly didn't i would investigate ignition first.

I did change the condenser, but that didn't change anything. Ran a compression test just a few minutes ago and compression is a little low, but equal at all four cylinders
