Ticking noise on 2017 Tacoma sport

Started hearing this noise two weeks ago, my mechanic doesn’t know exactly until he starts taking things apart. He’s thinking something with the engine or valve. Is this sound normal or something I should worry about and get it fixed asap ?! I will upload a video

 

Well the fuel injection system is noisy and makes a ticking sound. Hopefully this what your hearing.

All though there are a few early (2016 & 2017 mostly I believe) trucks running around that may have an issue with cylinder#1 burning a valve. Hopefully this is not what your hearing. From what I read, toyota has been replacing that side's head with a new one. Do a search for it in the 3rd gen forum only. It will pop up.

 

All the threads I've read about the #1 cylinder valve issue indicated that the first they knew about the problem because of a CEL and error code. Ticking wasn't the first symptom. My 2021 ticks from the noisy fuel injection system, so it's not uncommon for these trucks to tick and sound like something is up when it's not.

 

IT's not the taco tick? when was your last oil change

 

Welcome to tacomaworld.

If this is your first Taco and you've only owned it for a little while you're probably just now noticing the fuel injection system which does make a ticking sound.

These engines don't purr, they sound like a Japanese business man from the 1970s furiously typing away at a typewriter as to not bring his family any dishonor.

 

Best description ever of what this engine sounds like

idk but honestly these motors are loud af compared to most vehicles I have driven as far as valve train noise goes

 

That sounds like you got a issue to resolve

 

I don’t think it’s a burned valve cause wouldn’t a check engine come out

 

He thinks it’s something with the engine or the valve? Sounds like a great mechanic.

 

Sounds like mine. 'Course they're so noisy, you wouldn't know if something was really wrong.

 

After watching the video...maybe this is why Toyota put out that diesel video a few months ago.

Sorry. Someone had to put that out there

But seriously, I would stop by Toyota and just have the service guys listen to it. See what they have to say. It really doesn't sound normal to me. And I have not heard another Tacoma sound like that.

 

Different sound then the taco tick and I had just had an oil change about 2 months ago. This is what mine sounds like. https://youtube.com/shorts/12ixyuhDDlU?feature=share

 

@Superdave1.0
Can you diagnose this by sound. If sounds horrible.
