ForresGlanza Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 This is really loud though. It just seems strange. i've heard other cars tick before but mine is alot louder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy.i Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 its normal mate, mines loud as fook Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave L-W Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yeah I thought that mate when I bought mine and it annoys me everyday but I have been told it's normal, plus it stops once the car is warm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 As everyone has said its normal injectors work off a solenoid opening and closeing that will be the ticking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForresGlanza Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Thanks guys makes me feel so much better. All my mates were tellin me my engine is fooked so got a bit worried. Hopefully the warmer weather will make it go away. Only noticed it over winter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ForresGlanza Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 whats that? because mines got a risk tickin to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlexGTAdv Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The idle control valve is on the far left hand side of the inlet manifold. Mine clicks like mad in the winter, always has done. In the summer its fine. Just for you're piece of mind you can start it up and unplug the electrical connector on it and it will stop the clicking so you know its that. Just dont forget to plug it back in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
