I'm new to this forum so I hope this is in the right place. I have a 2008 Cobalt SS and when it is idling it makes a ticking noise. I know about the fuel pump being loud but this is more of a 3 ticks per second. Has anyone else experienced this? Any help would be be appreciated. I took it into the dealership and they said it was normal :/ I mean come on the car has 8,000 miles on it.

Thanks

Well, there are different "ticks" out there and some may indicate a problem. But the direct injection system produces a certain ticking sound which is normal. If you are super concerned, post up a sound clip for us.

I will get a sound clip up soon. To me it doesnt sound normal but who knows. The performance of the car is fine so im hoping its just one of the di ticks

Direct Injection = tick = normal in these cars
