    Injector cleaner helped a little bit but the noise is still there. I may seafoam it in the future and see what happens. But for now im happy atleast knowing what the noise is.

    I used to hear the same thing, but once the motor warmed up more the ticking went away. Would the ticking mean an injector is going bad?

    I have the same problem, and I can hear them all the time when the cars running. Ran some seafoam through it, and the noise went away, but now, about a year later, they're starting to tick again.

    But in all seriousness, seafoam is (in my experience with 10+ vehicles) some good stuff.

    I think im gonna have to seafoam it pretty soon. The noise isnt to loud but its there and its annoying. Im ordering a zzp a s/c coupler cause thats making noise too and needs replaced. So i'll seafoam it and replace my noisy coupler so hopefully my car is quiet then
