Hi, 2006 TL, 6-speed, 115K miles on the clock, timing belt done around 105K miles as well as water pump and serpentine belt. DIY'ed this one, fairly straight forward, just takes time/patience.
Recently, I Noticed a tick, tick, tick sound coming from the engine compartment. It doesn't sound like a valve "tick", almost sounds like an arcing type tick.
It definitely varies with engine RPMs, but it isn't perfectly consistent, i.e., sometimes it skips, sometimes it goes away.
I haven't looked at it in the dark to see if there is any arcing going on. I have never replaced the spark plug wires on it.
I have attached a recording of it taken with my phone very close to the top of the engine where the PS pump is.
Ideas??
