Fuel injectors are small electrical valves that make clicking and ticking sounds when quickly opening and closing at idle. Ticking of the injectors is normal and you can drive without any worry.

What causes engine tick in 2015 GMC Sierra 5.3?

Have an engine tick in my 2015 5.3 V8 that is getting worse. It sounds like a manifold leak or a valve tick but it only happens now and then. It happens V4 but you can hear it in sometimes in V8 mode as well. Light throttle with the engine under a bit of load it does it consistently. Under heavy throttle the engine purrs perfect.

Why does my GMC Sierra make a ticking sound?

The high pressure fuel pump can generate a subtle ticking sound that is apparent when the vehicle is idling. The sound is more evident when outside the vehicle, when the hood is open or the vehicle is operated in a drive-through environment.

Where is the fuel pump located on a GMC Sierra?

Didn’t look underneath. There’s actually two fuel pumps on those. the high pressure pump sits at the back of the valve lifter oil manifold under the intake and of course the main pump is located in the tank. The tick you’re hearing might be from the high pressure fuel pump since its close to the firewall.

Why does my GM Truck make a knocking noise?

Valve lifter knock or injector, this will occur until valve lifters fill with oil, as they leak down when engine is at a 4hr cold soak. They fill within 30 seconds of running, but sometimes if there was traped air oil “foaming” they can make a knocking noise for closer to a minute.

The new engines include the 4.3L V6 (RPO LV3) (Fig. 10), 5.3L V8 (RPO L83), 6.2L V8 (RPOs L86 and LT1). The new small block engine family uses a Direct Injection (DI) fuel system. The fuel is injected directly into the cylinder using a high pressure fuel system, which improves power, torque, and fuel efficiency.
