Please Help,
I have owned my new 2004 Quicksilver GTO for all of three days and there is this terrible ticking sound coming from the engine compartment. It is loud enough that you can hear it sometimes over the radio. It sounds as though it is coming from the left hand side (drivers side) cylinder bank. I took it to my dealer today and the mechanic stated that it is simply the sound that the injectors make. I have owned fuel injected cars for 15 years now and I have never, ever, heard them make this much racket. The real issue with this is that the sound comes and goes. If it was the injectors, wouldn't they make this sound all of the time? My guess was that there was something wrong with an the oil pump and maybe at times there was not enough lubrication getting to the left cylinder bank. If anyone else has had this problem, please let me know if there is a sollution. I love the car otherwise and it is a blast, but I can't stand this noise.
Thanks,
