WallaceGlanza Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Could be the manifold gasket leaking, it really is very likely to be a leak from around the mani anyway, if you're really unlucky the head itself could be cracked at the exhaust port as that's fairly common on 4eftes.

bucketep91 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 im gettin a loud ticking noise when im starting up, the mani has a crack but its not coming from there. after inspecting today it seems to be the alternator belt, sprayh a wee bit wd40 on the alternator belt and see if the noise goes away for a minute, if it does u need to tighten/replace it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawsy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hey mate, mine makes a ticking noise too. On mine its the idle control valve. Its quite a fast distinctive tick on idle! Look up by the inlet manfold to the left. There will be a small cylinder looking thing with a plug going to it. If you unplug it for a sec, the revs should drop then obvioulsy the ticking should stop (if this is the problem). If it stops then its the valve, so not to worry! Worth a try?Also mine doesnt tick from cold with the hightlights on, because the revs obviously pick up effecting the ICV.Sorry if this doesnt help but just sounds like similar, if not the actuall problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frankieflowers Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Hi guys. My engine starts ticking not on idle but when I start driving it and I press the throttle. It does it for a few hundred meters (around a minute) and then it stops doing it. If I give more gas the engine is not running properly. As soon as the ticking fades everything turns to normal. It does it when I fire it in the morning and it’s still does it when the engine is warm. At first I thought it was the oil missing on top of the engine for the valves hydraulic but I am not sure and I would like someone to help me find out. Thanks.

This can sometimes be the idle control valve. Assuming you have a 4e-fte, unplug it while the engine is running and see if the ticking stops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are pretty expensive from Toyota and they are shit 🤣 If the car runs ok I would perhaps ignore it. I've actually made an adapter which replaces this valve with another more modern idle valve and removes the wax stat from the throttle body as well. You would need an aftermarket ECU to control it.

That’s cool. So I cleaned it with a product and the ticking disappeared. But then I gave some gas on the throttle with my head close to the engine and I heard that the ticking I hear from the cabin comes from the exhaust manifold. So this must be caused by a crack in the manifold or in the downpipe. I read this around and I was hoping it wouldn’t happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
