Default Engine Clicking?

My stock 00' GT has this clicking noise that I cant quite figure out. It's consistent even when revving the engine. Now I've been using my defroster with out the A/C relay switch fixed so it kind of bogs down the engine alittle bit and I think that's what its. It's not the timing chaiin tensioner as its coming from just to the right of the intake maniold and I can't figure it out. My camera is dead but im charging right now so I can get a soundbite and tell me what you think it is. Thanks!

Default RE: Engine Clicking?

Could be an injector or two if the sound is coming from one side of the manifold. Go around to each injector with a screwdriver, put the tip on the injector and then put your ear up to the other end. I used a mechanics stethoscope instead of a screwdriver but I found that the tick I was hearing was just a noisy injector.
Is the tick louder when the hood is closed?
