Hi there,
Over time, the fuel injectors may become clogged or malfunction, resulting in a ticking noise. Still, fuel injectors in modern engines often make a ticking noise when they operate. The noise is the sound from the injectors opening and closing rapidly as they spray fuel into the engine. The noise is consistent but not so loud, It could be in its normal operation. If the injector is malfunctioning, it will produce a louder-than-normal ticking noise. You can use a mechanic's stethoscope or a long screwdriver to listen carefully to the injector and surrounding areas. You can also perform a fuel injector test or have a mechanic check the injector. If faulty, it may need to be cleaned or replaced. Check for loose components around the injector area, such as a loose fuel rail or injector mounting bolt, which could cause ticking sounds.
I hope those details help you find the problem you need to fix. Still, it is best to refer to your trusted auto repair shop or mechanic for a thorough check and diagnostic.
