Ticking/rattle at idle before engine warms up

Thank you for asking, Meagan. The dealer visit turned up no results. The tech couldn't hear anything other than the injector tick and said that none of the sounds he heard were abnormal. He went ahead and ran some diagnostics and checked some stuff out anyway and also updated the car's computer. The end result was basically just that if I hear anything abnormal that I should bring it back.

Well at least now you can have peace of mind [MENTION=2994]HamToast[/MENTION]. Did they specifically tell you what the ecu/ecm update was for?

The tech didn't specify, he only said that the software was several updates behind so he would put the newest on there.

You're welcome!

If you decide to get a second opinion, or if you go back as your dealer mentioned, I'll be happy to dig deeper. Just keep me in the loop.
