Any idea what this noise could be?

Started hearing a faint ticking noise when the engine is running at idle after it has warmed up. Under the hood it's louder by the left side of the engine (left as when sitting in the driver's seat). Any idea what this could be?

Could it be the VSV? I replaced that about 1000 miles ago.

 

I have a similar sounding tick coming from my engine. I believe exhaust leaks can also make a similar noise that sounds a bit like a solenoid. Might be worth looking into. But the VSV or other solenoid would be a likely culprit.

 

Did you connect the vacuum hoses to the new VSV correctly? I only ask because I replaced mine, and mixed up two vacuum lines.. it would tick loudly at idle.

 

Hmm, that's something I will check, I don't *think* I messed it up, but who knows haha.

Anyone have a picture or diagram showing it correct?

 

There should be a sticker on the underside of your hood above the driver's side that shows the routing of those vacuum lines.

 

Thank you!

 

Confirmed it is the VSV by holding my finger on it. I only had a second to check so didn't check hose routing, gonna do that next opportunity.
