Default New sound or maybe just never noticed?
Cause when the car is running with the hood up, the fuel injectors make a really load ticking sound.

Default Did you check the oil?
I know that sounds like a stupid question, but did you?

Default It could be but Im not sure. I changed the timing belt recently so maybe my ears are hearing things

I remember it used to always tick a bit, but not this loud.
