Noisey fuel rails?

[RideThePONYgt]

has anyone had noisey fuel rails on their 5.0? does it mean anything? also is there anything special about replacing them due to all the high pressure lines? thanks guys :thumbsup:

What do you mean noisy? I've never heard of noisy fuel rails? :dontknow:

 

[RideThePONYgt]

they make a ticking noise like tick tick tick tick tick ALL THE TIME. its not coming from the valve cover area as i thought its directly out of the fuel rails lol my dad and i did the screw driver test(hes old school lol) and sure enough tick tick tick tick tick tick i would think there should be no sound from them?

Air in the lines???

who knows :dontknow: i just didnt think it was normal so i figured id ask around

Perhaps a bad injector?

 

[RideThePONYgt]

anyway to tell?

 

[wannaboost94gt]

I'm not sure how to tell but you can run some seafoam through them and see if it makes a difference. Just don't put any in your oil 1/3 in the full tank and the other 2/3 through the vac line to the intake. It's worth a shot.

[wannaboost94gt]

Fuel rails have no moving parts, and cannot make noise, it's something else. Injectors, valvetrain, exhaust leak, etc...

Yeah are you sure its not something inside the heads?

 

[RideThePONYgt]

good point. and yea we know the noise isnt coming from the heads. so im guessing its a bad injector
