Ticking noise might be your injectors, maybe lifters, but without hearing it can't really help you. Injectors is a normal noise, they should make noise, if they don't they're not working. Lifters shouldn't.

For the popping and backfiring, check your timing

oh ok, i did install new injectors so i hope thats it. i checked the timing and its at about 17 degrees...could that be the reason?


while driving i can hear a slight ticking coming it sounds like from the driver side, im wondering if it might be a header leak
