Default My Ford Probe sounds like a tractor! HELP!

Hi Guys!

I am getting some strange noises coming from the engine bay of my Probe. It sounds like my car is a tractor! It is a ticking type noise like something inside is loose. It is there at idle and when you are cruising but it gets louder when you are decelerating using the engine. I have had something similar to this in a different ford and it turned out to be loose tappets and rattling push-rods. However I have heard that Probes have a tendency to make timing chain noises. Do you have any thoughts at to what it might be? How much it might cost to fix? Any help would be appreciated!

1995 Ford Probe
2L 4cyl Engine

Can you post up a vid of it, as this would be a lot easier.
