    I just bought a TRD OR 4X4 Nov.3 and I've noticed that the engine makes a tapping sound. I recorded one minute of it. Here is the link

    Is this normal for an Atkinson Cycle engine? Any helpful advice would be great. Again keep in mind I'm new to the Tacoma scene so this is a huge learning experience.

    I believe that sound is the fuel injector cleaners and is normal. Mine clicks and ticks too.

    Sorry this seems harsh.......

    Does anyone read the FN manual or do they post a new thread before even trying the search?

    OP that is the NEW engine, the fuel injectors clean themselves.

    Don't worry, I get the same noise. Had a friend tell me I should take it back to the dealer until I explained to him it's normal.
