my car sometimes starts to have a ticking sound from the engine bay area after the car warms up.. It doesnt happen all the time, but if i drive hard for a little bit, when I come to a stop, I can here it.. it goes with the rpm's as well. The car is stock right now in the engine bay...05 gt..5 speed.. any info would be great thanks

is it constant or does it happen every so often?

I think that is the fuel injectors...

is that a problem, clogged or not big enough for the mods?

not that I've heard about...just the sound that they make.

Yea I think the sewing machine noises are normal idle characteristics. My car's been doing what you've described since I bought it new.

cool, good to know, i'm getting more and more nervous and the car creeps to 170,000mi.

Our S197's have relatively loud injectors. Either that or you're using too thin a motor oil.
