Lifters are mechanical components in the engine that open and close the engine's valves, providing a path for air, fuel, and exhaust to flow into and out of the combustion chambers. When they become worn or dirty, they can produce a ticking noise, especially when the accelerator is pressed.
Fuel Injectors
Fuel injectors are components responsible for delivering the right amount of fuel into the engine's cylinders. They can also produce a ticking noise when they are dirty or clogged, especially when the accelerator is pressed.
Exhaust Leak
Exhaust leaks can occur when there is a hole or gap in the exhaust system, allowing exhaust gases to escape. These leaks can produce a ticking noise, especially when the accelerator is pressed.
Piston Slap
Piston slap refers to the sound of the pistons moving inside the engine's cylinders. When the pistons are worn, they can create a ticking sound when the accelerator is pressed.
