Ticking Sound
Does anyone else get a ticking sound when they turn the car on or sitting in a drive thru.If i give it a little gas the tick speeds up a little but only stops if i get going a little bit. I was just wondering if this is a normal thing or i need to take it in to get fixed.

There is a TSB for L99 lifter noise.

Sounds like lifter noise - may not be a problem though. I had a Corolla that did that and through some digging found that it was completely normal.. car ran for 200,000 Km plus perfectly before I sold it. Any good service manager should be able to help you confirm if yours is anything to worry about.

Very fast cliking are the injectors, but a click about 1/2 second apart at idle is the fuel pump. Most of V6's have this cliking.
There are a few post here with video and sound.

To tell you where the ticking noise is coming from, need to actually hear it myself.. but i really doubt its the direct injectors, as youre noticing the ticking clearly.
It could be a loose bolt. |

But the OP is describing exactly what the direct injection sounds like. I too was concerned long ago, but it's just normal operation.

OP, it is the direct injection. Mine is quite loud. You have nothing to worry about.
