I just replaced the short runner valve motor, throttle body, map sensor, spark plugs and passenger side exhaust manifold. Not all that bad of a project, though a pain in the ass with some of the annoying red clips breaking on coil packs and injectors. So the trouble codes are now all gone. But I still have a slight ticking sound and minor detonation ping at about 2000-2200 rpm that sounds like it is on the drive side bank. If I take this into the dealer for a more advanced scan than what my little BlueDriver tool can offer, do you think they will be able to pin point the ping and tick? From what I read it can be a ticking fuel injector or a dreaded valve train issue. Either issue could led to a ping problem either poor fuel delivery or bad valve travel. Anyone else run into this?
