I have always used 91. There is a gas station near my parents that sells race gas 100 octane! I might try that and see if that helps!

I am going to recommend this before Modshack does...run a bottle Techron Concentrate Plus in your gas tank and see what that does. Also, what vehicle did you have before this as injectors can be very noisy at times and if you are not accustom to the noise then the first time you deal with it is always appears odd.

My last car was a 06 Scion TC, and it never knocked or ticked like this. My car before that was a 93 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and that had lifter problems that sounded very similar to this. That's the reason, when I heard it I was like oh noooo lifter problems again? Should I reset my ecu after I use this Techron stuff? Thanks!

No need to reset your ECU. Also, the Mits 3000GT has very noisy injectors, but that car can run up to 200K miles before any real problems with its engine. The VR4 biggest problem was its AWD with owners that did not service ALL the fluids in a timely fashion. Super cool car though.

O/T Ya that car was a dream, I could drop clutch it at like 6800 PRM and it was gonzo! I ended up dropping the tranny after about 138000 miles, replaced it and still sold it for $14000, mind you I bought it off my ex girls mom for $11,000 and it had 56,000 miles on it. It handled like no car Ive ever driven (except of course my Z

) it was so nice to say

to my scion!!!

Ticking injector noise seems to vary.....You should hear a 1.8T Turbo VW/Audi motor! They are, after all, just electrical solenoids being opened and closed.

Techron is good to keep your fuel gauge senders AND fuel injectors clean. I generally do a bottle at every oil change. No need for a reset.
