Hello all. I'm in desperate need of some help. 2003 4.0L Explorer.
There is a loud ticking coming from the intake manifold. It's not coming from the front of the engine. It's not inside the cylinder head. It gets louder and faster with higher RPM's. I've felt the front, back, sides of the engine, heads. I can clearly feel the ticking inside the intake manifold on the driver side of the engine. I clear all codes and then various misfire codes pop up.
Any idea what this could be from you Ford Experts? I've taken the intake manifold off and valve covers off and everything looks fine. Are there any moving parts inside the manifold??? No vaccuum leaks either. I'm stumped and I'm tired of taking this motor apart. TIA
