Does anyone have a ticking sound coming from under their hood? It's almost similar to the sound the old diesel Mercedez cars would make. Please note that I said *similar* I know some of those diesel cars sound horrible. I thought it was coming from the belts, but after putting some belt dressing and thinking it would go away...it hasn't. Am I the only one with the problem? Any idea what it could be? It's a constant tick tick tick tick tick

I have it to. Dealer says its the fuel injectors cycling on and off but to me it sounds more like lifters.

everybody has it... if you reach back near thefirewall by teh driver's side you'll feel a piee of plastic that is clicking.

I have it too, someone told me it was valve clicks

scalbert

Most likely either the injectors or the EVAP valve. It would depend on the location.

Doc.Booty

Now lemme ask, is it anything to worry about?

Normal on all 2nd gen CL (or at least the Type S).

I have the same problem. Noticed it when I picked up my car. I was told it was the EVAP valve. They said there is no fix, they just tried to isolate ther sound and move it further away from the firewall.

scalbert

No, if the car hasn't exploded by now the time bomb is a dud.

Doc.Booty

Maybe it's the ticker for the transmission explosion?

I have it. I notieced it more after the intake & headers. The dealers by me claim it's because of my mods & refuse to look at it any further.

its the Honda valve tick, every honda does it

it's the injectors. If you mod your car, it might be louder, cause there might be more fuel going into your engine. Scalbert?

scalbert

The injectors certainly tick and could be them. But also the EVAP valve picks as it is duty cycle controlled.

As for more fuel at idle with mods, not really. Not enough to measure but regardless, modern injectors do have an audible ticking sound.
