Hey all. I'm pretty new to the realm of Toyota, this being my first one. I just got a 1995 4runner v6 with 174.xxx miles on her. She has been well maintained through the year and is in good shape. I recently did the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and motor, high mileage oil was just put in as well. I've started noticing a ticking noise on the drivers side of the engine, audible from inside the car. I've researched it a little and sounds like its common and its probably a sticky litter or loud injector,I've listened through a stethascope and didn't hear anything to alarming. just wanted to see if anyone has see this before and had any luck in a cure. Thanks for all the help.
