I have a 2015 F150 5.0 and I can feel the clicking coming from the black piece right above the throttle body without taking the intake off. And I took the intake off and it is black all over (carbon), so I’ll clean mine and or replace it with a better one
I don't believe that is the cause of the ticking noise prevalent in this engine. That throttle tick is also a problem with the 5.0 and we clean the throttle body or replace it and re-initialize the computer and it takes care of that problem. It's caused by an error in the Idle control from the throttle plate not sitting correctly. The typewriter tap is different and comes from the valve train, probably caused by a design flaw in the oil passages and improper oil flow through the valve train. that's why it sounds like it's coming from the back of the engine.
Throttle body reset should fix the tick. Let engine completely cool first. Remove neg battery cable. Jump positive to disconnected negative cable for a minute or so. Drain all the capacitors to reset memory values to zero. Reconnect neg cable. Turn key to on, wait for gauge check to complete. Then start and let idle from cold to hot before driving.
Putting a new throttle body on will not fix this. It is a motor driven plate with redundancy with two position sensors any small readings between both position sensors will turn the wrench light on and kill the throttle nothing off closed throttle. So the throttle plate movement exclusively controlled by the PCM with inputs from the throttle pedal and checked 0% input and the plate clicks. This is a strategy in the PCM why? only the engineers know. Stop worrying it is normal. Yeah annoying like the coyote ticky rattle OH MY GOD my engine is going to blow up thrashed on it the last 7 years 110k now still has a ticky rattle not louder. Love this engine came from a 5.4 3v spicy for its day and lasted still going for my son it was overserviced.
While I have a 2017 doing the same thing and as a mechanic I see things that dont make sense the engineers do their job making no sense to us mechanics but it works. And on a 2nd gen coyote the last of the good ones it idles like silk and zero drivability problems. I think seeing other people seeing the same thing for all intents and purposes it is normal like the ticky rattle the coyote has. Why it does that only the engineers know.
I have the same exact sound! Also no driveability issues but when I took my truck to the dealer they said I’ll need a new engine block for $5,000 😂 So glad I didn’t go with that.
Yes! Thanks for posting this video. I cleaned my throttle body and it started making this noise. So I took the battery terminal off to clear the memory and then restored power. I turned the key to the on position to let the throttle body sweep. Then I started my truck and let it idle for 30 minutes and it relearned the idle setting and the noise went away! Thanks again!
That clicking Is loud because I was doing my oil change yesterday and when I turn it on it was making that noise that I thought it might be the belt tensioner or maybe one of the pulleys bearing going bad but I’m glad someone made a video because that would have been a nightmare to find.
Send a bunch of millenials to school give them a lap top , supervised by a man bun and tell them they are a mechanic, ooops sorry technician , mechanics know how to fix things with a computer
Thanks for this video! Had the same issue. Excellent insight on the center switch...I glued a small piece of plastic to the lower door latch to properly engage the center switch button...problem solved!
Cleaning it will help but actually need a new throttle body and be reprogrammed or they say they can reprogram your old one update it but you have to pay for it and if it don't work you're out of the money
I know this is a strange request. I’m sure you have much better things to do with your time but if I sent you a couple of videos of the sound that my truck was making, would you mind giving them a listen and letting me know what you think? I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you for this video! We have the same microwave and it’s doing the exact same thing. I try to fix stuff around the house myself to try and save a buck, but I know nothing about microwaves. This video gives me a great place to start, and hopefully resolve this issue.
I could not get the screen filter in there. The hole was way too small! Anyone else? I changed my sender and it was good for about 5 days then I started getting the same fluctuations!!! ugh.... Today I an getting an adaptor and an actual pressure gauge to check things out... frustrating.
@clarkharvell5242 it should be there unless somebody else has already replaced it and didn't put it back. You can take a screw that's a little bit bigger than the filter if you have a new filter you can test it screw it down in there and then pull it straight up and out if it's dirty it will cause your problem and you might not see it it looks like it's made in
I’m a mechanic. My friend just came over with his 2017 f150. He called me and said that he was hearing engine knock. And when he came over I opened the hood and I heard that knocking or ticking sound and I could tell it was coming from the throttle body. And when I saw this video that’s exactly how it sounded. It has to be this because the moment I heard it my hand went straight to the throttle body. Great vid. Thanks.
Well my ticking noise dropped 3 cylinders. BAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 9 months later after they said a new long block , still ticking. Lol Mine is because the correct oil pressure isn't getting to the tensioners. I think it's from bad casting in the block. And there is no way in hell they put a new block. Surly my luck ain't that bad to get 2 bad blocks. My dad seems to think that's the problem. He has 60 yrs experience and head mechanic at Ford for 20 years and owned his own shop for 40. He said ford had same problem in the mid 80s.
Our microwave tripped the breaker when we stopped the cooking cycle early by opening the door, if we let the timer stop the cycle or we stopped it before opening the door it was fine. We thought we had an electrical issue, after having it checked out by an electrician he suggested to us to research the microwave on youtube. After watching a couple videos we replaced the 3 switches and a couple other items and it still didn't work properly, then we ran across your video and after doing your suggested adjustment you saved us a few hundred dollars, my wife and I were going to meet at Lowes tonight after she got off work to buy another microwave. Thank you so much for your very detailed fix to this issue.
My truck now is clicking like hammers but not affecting anything. I keep planning to take it off and clean it. The last time I hit it with carb cleaner it calmed down
I don't know for sure but what I've Been Told from ford and other mechanics the throttle bodies have to be programmed to or truck so if you buy a new one which is 400 bucks $500 you have to pay them to program it mine has been doing it for over a year and it causes no issues other than sounding like somebody's under the hood. I refuse to pay ford more money while I'm paying a big truck payment and give them more money for something they should already fix
Another issue could be the switch holder. You can see the wearing track from the hooks at 3:33. That small groove is preventing the hook from hitting the normally open switch at the same time as the middle normally closed switch. The slight timing difference can blow the fuse. I had the same issue and replacing the switch holder solved it. Unfortunately this is the second time I replaced it. Next time this happens I will just disconnect the normally closed switch since I don't need the safety features it provides anyway.
Perfect. I got 2016 yesterday and two ticks one on driver head and one exactly right here , glad I don’t have to chase one of them. You saved me 50% of my stress :)
