Ive only had the car a week or so.But at the moment I figured it ticks very selectively, only at idle ussually when warm.Its a very noticable tick coming from the right side of the engine. I havent had a really really good look and listen yet but I was just curious as to wether this is normal or not.Thanks in adavance for your replies.Dave Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74393-injector-tick/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a slight tick too, but never really took notice...

Your 6 injectors are really just a bunch of little solenoids all opening and closing at the specified time to deliver fuel to the engine when required. The Ford 6 is quite loud with regards to the injectors firing.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74393-injector-tick/#findComment-1098300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem to be very selective though, sometimes quiet sometimes loud, I will keep a ear on it to see if I can find a pattern :SThanks guys!Oh and its a 03 BAMK1 110kms Edited 20/04/11 09:27 AM by MX Dave Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74393-injector-tick/#findComment-1098482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
