Probably the purge control solenoid (like a small ticking?). If it is its nothing to worry about. It doesnt need to be replaced unless it really bothers you.

Mine's been ticking the same for over a year now. Hasn't gotten any better or worse. As for me, I've gotten used to it and I have no intention to change it.

You dont need to replace it. They get noisy, but dont need to be. Mine has been doing it since about 1 year of ownership. Now there is over 300k on it no issues.

This is good to know my TL-S has ben doing the same thing. My truck has a bent rod (or two) lol and it makes the same sound, on the top of the engine not the bottem tho.. I think I will replace mine, it starts to be alittle bothersome with the hum from the intake
