Bababou Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I tracked down a ticking noise I had assumed was valve noise or a lifter giving up to the throttle body. Using a pinpoint stethoscope the heads have no tick the case sounds smooth. The intake runners have a light tick but when you listen anywhere on the throttle body its a loud tick. Does cleaning the injector make the tick go away or is that a candidate for replacement typically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Ticking noise from the throttle body. I never did anything about it. Have yet to have an injector fail. Lifter tick is quite different in sound and where it sounds like it comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Injectors can be VERY loud. It's basically normal. If it's working... don't try to fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bababou Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Good to know they are just loud. It runs fine gets up to 75mph easy enough, it does take some work to get up to 20 before it gets running good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
