Are you sure it's not your fuel injectors?

damn mike ur fucking good. i bought the stethescope last night and was checking around the motor and found nothing. so i was like mike said that the injectors could be it, checked them and tap tap tap. thats where the sound is coming from. i didnt hear anything from the distributor so im guess ints not that but def heard it from the injectors. now what do i do to eliminate the sound, or is this not a bad thing. do i need new injectors, do they need to be cleaned?

yo thanks for the good info mike

just clean them. but before taking them out and having them thoroughly cleaned, i would run a fuel injector cleaner found at autozone or wherever and see if that helps

yea i think im gonna clean em. i dont believe too much in the fuel injector cleaners. i think its kinda a bunch of bullshit. if it was that easy as pouring a fluid into ur motor then everything would be that easy. ill just take em out and clean em. or maybe get new ones and when i get the fuel rail and pressure reg install them then

i know thier not going out its jsut an annoying noise and ive never heard it before. it seems like a lot of ls owners seem to have it so its not a big deal but the better condition the working parts are in the better the motor will run so i figured i would find out whats up and then if need be clean the shit out of em. anyone wanna tell me how to clean em, im think i would use like a carb cleaner or something

i take mine out to clean then...be sure to take the o-ring off before u let them soak...

i still doint think that would get them any cleaner,,cause in order to get to the inside on the inj.u gonna have to make it pulse to open the valve...ahh hell send them to R C they can get them cleaner than me or you

yea but ive heard that it can damage the sending unit in your gas tank. this is according to my dad. he said for some cars they recommend it and others they dont, he said to not use it and for once im taking his advice
