I have an 07 4Runner SR5, I have noticed latley that the motor when it is running and when I am driving, There is a ticking noise. Is this common? if not, what can I do to fix it?
Also, my brake lights will flicker as I am driving, and If I have my cruise control on, and I hit a bump it will turn of. Both of those are very intermintent. I have taken it into toyota and they told me they couldnt figure anything out.
So.... Please let me know if you know anything thing I can do....

Ticking sound could be a sticking Hyd. lifter, No it couldn't. Both the V8 and the V6 use mechanical lifters. the other item with break lights I bet is a shorted contact somewhere in your wiring.
Your Toyota dealers service guy sounds lost, like most all Toyota dealers service people.
Several things could cause the tick. A few of the possibilities are a VSV valve (see link in sig), an out of adjustment valve (very unlikely) or a noisy fuel injector.
I'd have them check the stoplight switch calibration/mounting. It sounds like it's adjusted wrong.
