I have been hearing this ticking noise from under my hood for a few months and it has been getting a little louder every week. I finally checked the header gaskets thinking they might be leaking. Replaced the gaskets and fired it up. Still heard the sound. Upon closer inspection, I can definitely hear the noise coming from the fuel injectors. They are ticking kinda loud. They are FMS 24lb. Does anyone elses make a loud ticking noise, especially when the engine is idling? The noise goes away above approx 2200 rpm's. My initial thought is this: I still have the original fuel pump and am wondering if it overworked the injectors? They have been installed for approx 23,000 miles and maybe that is all I can expect? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks,
Adam
