This is my 2018 mustang gt, after a oil change I noticed this nasty tick. I was confused and did a little research and a lot of people recommended ceratec. I used it and I feel like it didn’t do anything. And then I started hearing this really fast tick. If anyone has had similar issue and resolved it please help me.

Been around for a while, no one knows how to properly fix it. Mine is super annoying too. Just turn the music up louder 👍🏼

That's what it's supposed to sound like.

It’s the DI injector’s.. mine sounds the same. I can post a vid if you want but you are good!
Send me the video of when the injectors were bad, because if it’s actually engine problems I’m never buying a mustang again 😂

Are you sure you aren’t hearing your Evap solenoid ticking? I replaced mine recently due to a check engine light, it fixed the CEL, but the new one ticks much of the time and sounds exactly like that.

It might be, the fast ticking was when I turned on the ac

I bet that’s what it is. It’s a tick more like the sound of a solenoid, and not an internal tick like a lifter. Also the frequency seems too fast to be internal.

The injectors aren’t bad just sound like a typewriter like every other 18+ coyote . Took me awhile to get use to also. See the vid below when I had my Roush SCer and about half way through you can hear the same sound as yours. Been boosted since 500 miles and now pushing over 900+ with an ESS and same sound as you.

Did you replace anything that changes the noise?
