So I’ve noticed something a bit odd with my car lately. When it drops down to idle after a light rev, there’s this faint tick sound right before it hits idle. I just did my HPPF replacement a few days ago, so I’m kind of wondering if that could be related or if it’s something else entirely. IDK, maybe I’m just being paranoid, but I figured I’d ask if anyone else has experienced anything like this.
That tick could be a normal noise, but it’s good you’re paying attention. Sometimes it’s just the engine settling down.
Did you check if everything was tightened properly after the HPPF replacement? Loose parts can definitely cause weird noises.
I hear you. I’ve had some strange noises after repairs before. Sometimes it’s just air pockets in the system too.
If it keeps bothering you, maybe consider getting a second opinion. A fresh set of ears might help diagnose it better.
Sometimes a light tick can be normal for certain engines. If it doesn’t change with RPMs, it might not be a big deal.
