Hey Everyone,

I posted this in the V6 Section about my experience with doing a first ever spark plug change. I ran into a few issues and had follow up questions without much response...The most concerning issue is after the change I noticed there is a slight ticking sound coming from the driver's side. I had never noticed the sound before the spark plug change.

However, it could have been there before and I just never noticed since you can only really hear it with the hood open. Maybe I am being a bit paranoid since this was my first every attempt at a spark plug change.


The car is a 2007, 117k miles, and I am the original owner. Below is a link to a video I made of the sound. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Make sure your spark plugs are torqued down and not cross threaded. I believe the torque spec is around 13-15 ft.-lb.

 

Anyone else? Sometimes I can smell gasoline when I get out of my car after driving - not sure if that is related.
