weird annoying ticking noise
hey guys jst got home from some spirited driving. on the way home i noticed a weird ticking noise from inside the car. at first i thought it was the gearbox area but the noise is coming from the passenger side where the glove box is.
i popped the bonnet and there is a ticking noise around the injector area. the noise is progressive so has the rev gains the noise and speed of the ticking does also. its really weird never had this noise b4
its really annoying anyone have any idea wot it is?
edit: video!
you can hear the ticking noise towards the end of it around 1.30 onwards.sounds like a lawn mower or someshit to try and describe it. you can hear me feather/play with the throttle and you can make out the ticking noise along with engine sound, diff whine and my gay gear box.
comment!

You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
injector pulse
Injector opening / closing does not get louder after a drive.

p.s. I am going to be all over this thread for the next few hours in an effort to stamp out all the mechanical hearsay that is very commonly associated with threads like this one. Usually this results in you throwing parts at the car until it gets fixed or you take it to a mechanic.

ill see if i can get video going soon theres alot of other shit going on in the car so its hard to jst pin point the noise in the video but ill try my best to get it. not sure if this helps but my fuel light started to flicker on and off as i was sliding i was low on petrol but not that low could this hav any contribution?

Not really.
Fill the blanks here -
Is the noise there / better / worse
Engine cold / hot
Does it worsen under load
Are there any conditions under which the noise changes / fluctuates

engine warm
start to notice it after certain rpm
noise is there you can clearly hear it at a low rev and high gear - jst like u hear ur diff but instead of that a ticking noise
higher u go thru the revs the more u can hear it and the faster it sounds not sure if it gets louder but u can certainly hear it with gearbox rattle and 4age roaring at 5-6k rpms
yes i did fail she was 14 what u expect
Sounds like a tough one man.
Gonna have to get that video up or get a competent mechanic to look at it IRL.

it sounds like the valve/lifters are ticking which is a common problem when the oil your using is to thin or it is getting to hot after spirited drives
nulon do an engine additive which will fix it up or you can just use a different oil which is a little thicker to stop it
Rust is a way of life
yup sounds like ur discribing lifter noise, a lot of other cars have this sound aswell,second hand mostly, ive went to have a look at a S15 for a friend and got the lifters on idal was amazingly loud,...tick tick tick tick tick tick i was waiting for the BOOM...
