    It's probably the injectors... what year is your car? I know that the 91-95 injectors are LOUD, whereas the 96-97 injectors are MUCH quieter.

            No they all do it once they have miles on them. However as most of us have already, I would STRONGLY advise switching to a fully synthetic oil, preferably Mobil 1. This will reduce the noise a lot, and on my car pretty much eliminated it.

            And yes the injectors also click a lot, but I will know for sure how bad once I put the 96 ones in this X-mas. But according to Pocket Rocket, IIRC, the early ones were VERY loud and he said the new ones were soooo much quieter.
