Default Tick tick

I have finally pinpointed my ticking noise and it is coming diretcly from the fuel rails on both sides ... does this mean i have a bad injector or something? the noise doesn't seem to come from either side.. am i going to have to just deal with the ticking or should i try harder to pinpoint a single injector?? this drives me crazy when i drive by a fence or a drive thru.. any suggestions?

does anyone else have a similar ticking? sounds smooth when cold but the tick starts after warm up.. i cant hear it on the inside of the car, only when the noise reflects off something else

Hi,
check ohms reading 11-14 resistance ok.......use stethoscope they should click steadly with an increase/decrease as engine rpm's go up/down..you can also use the noid light it should blink on cranking mode or with engine running.
I hope this helps.........have a blessed weekend.......captain jim
