2019 tacoma SR engine question

Bought myself a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Sr model... notice when engine is running there's a very low ticking noise? is this normal? Of course you can only hear it when you start the car or the car is on idle and there's very little noise! Don't ever recall that on my 2015 taco.

 

2.7 or 3.5?

 

oops....2.7 SR 2019

 

Just traded a 2.7 for a 3.5

I had the 2.7 for three years.. i am not a mechanic... I’ve learned that all engines make weird noises... I would check oil and keep going...

Your 2.7 is bulletproof... I would not worry that much... but go to the dealer if you feel something is wrong...

 

Yes it ticks a little.

 

so its normal

 

Yes it is. So is 500 to 600 rpm rumble.

 

i have no or not noticed a 500/600 rpm rumble

 

so I was reading online... so is the knocking I hear some times louder is the fuel injectors cleaning themselves?

 

Likely the injectors firing

 

Welcome to the Forum !
The sound you are referring to is the heartbeat of the engine. Perfectly normal. As long as it has a constant beat to it, don't worry.

 

If youre hearing what sounds like a sewing machine ticking away, thats completely normal, nothing to worry about

 

toke it to dealer...says sound is normal...comes on after i start the engine like 2 min after....was told it was the vacuum pump....and it is normal sound..... BTW...NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE COMES ON!!!! gonna upload a youtube video and link it.....will post when done...

 

view youtube video.....

"NOISE" comes on 12 seconds into video!!!!!!

BTW...NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE COMES ON!

 

Did you have it changed did the noise go away??

 

I hope thats not normal. Had 2 2.7's and never heard the 12 sec noise.

 

that doesn't sound normal. take it to another dealership for a second opinion.

 

When you said "ticking" initially I thought it was normal. Every Toyota 4 cyl I've ever heard has a tick, from my dad's 1980 20R to my 2TR.

But then I watched the video. The ticking I know doesn't sound like that.

 

The ticking from what I understand is the injectors cleaning themselves.

 

Sounds like tapping plastic? like its vibrating against something.
