Car-1.flv video by HedsIc - Photobucket

I found a thread on this forum that ended with no final answer. I get the same sound at idle as the video above, I don't know what it is, car drives fine, no engine light or anything. Its driving me mental and you can't hear it in the cabin. Only when I get out to open the garage.

Also if you disconnect the two sensors on top of the intake manifold like I found on the other thread the noise also goes away on mine lol

These are the connectors that I was talking about, that when removed, ticking goes away.

I've also recorded the sound and put it up on the web:

I have exactly the same noise. I attribute it to a stick lifter or something, but I am not sure.

Those aren't sensors theyre control valves; the one on your left is your VIS one on the right is the VTCS.

I had a bad VTCS that made the same sound but I was in warranty.
