VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Call me paranoid but can injectors become noisy? ive got a tick noise that's quite loud from one area of my injector rail.how much are injectors? Link to post Share on other sites
jcorallo 0 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 not really that noisey - audible, but not noisey.there is the evap valve down in that area near the pulleys - which clicks rapidly. You dont mean that do you?the other possibility is that since you fitted the schrick, your plug leads are arcing on something - maybe you split a lead or separated one from the metal portion, or one has come off the plug altogther - all which would make a click click noise....either that, or you've only just started listening to your engine and have picked up on a noise that has always been there....!Jules Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 the noise has always been there, it could be evap valve, as it's down in that area.... however, it's alot quieter on other VR's Link to post Share on other sites
jcorallo 0 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 if it gets quicker as you rev it, then its not the evap valve.... Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 well it's no the evap valve as it does get quicker... Link to post Share on other sites
yeeha 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Are VR engines not naturally "tappety" sounding anyways? I know I get a fair ticking sound from mine... Link to post Share on other sites
jcorallo 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 use a stick as a stethoscope and locate the tapping - it could be a tappet block. Open up the iol filler cap and see if the tapping is coming from in there.If its not there, could really be anything - even a worn idler pulley, a cracked water pump pulley or bad bearing, alternator..... list goes on....!get the steth'scope out if you cant find it normally.Jules Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted May 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 it doesnt come from the oil filler cap.... Link to post Share on other sites
