All,
Just had both exhaust manifolds and gaskets replaced on my ‘05 LX. Had a really loud exhaust ticket during most acceleration prior to the repair. Now, it is much quieter except under moderate / hard acceleration- still a click / tick. My guess is the 2UZ is just a clicky / ticky engine- maybe injectors or fuel pulsation damper? I currently have the plastic engine cover removed and maybe that would deaden some of the clicking. It’s a rhythmic click / tick. Engine idles and runs smooth as glass through all RPMs. Anyone have a completely non-clicking / non-ticking 2UZ under moderate / hard acceleration? Or is some click / tick normal under these acceleration conditions? My click / tick kind of reminds me of a 1992 FJ80 3FE that I had…sounds kind of like a sewing machine.
