Default Ticking question

Waz up lol, I have a question. Sometimes when i start my car i have a ticking not a exhaust leak or anything. It will last for about 3min than go away, its like an injector leaking down and has no fuel or a lifter. So im kinda looking for some 19lb injectors if anyone has some. Anyone ever have a problem like this? thanks
