97 honda accord ticking	Sign In

I have a 1997 honda accord LX 4 2.2L

I had a code for P0401, so I cleaned my EGR ports. During this I had to pull out my fuel rail. When I did I noticed a lot of black sludge coating the fuel injectors and even in the hole where the fuel injectors sit.

After I put everything back together I have a ticking noise. Could this be from the injectors? Should I take out and clean with compressed air? Could it be O-rings?

This was the first real mechanical thing I’ve tried to do, so this is all new to me.

Thanks for any help.

Air isn't going to do anything. Fuel injectors have to be pressure cleaned internally with solvent electronically. Most systems have the vehicle run on the solvent while the fuel pump is disabled.

Thanks. But could be taking them out have caused the ticking?

The tips of the injectors were clean. It was all around the sides of them, but still in the hole they came out of (sorry don't know the name).

If you have dirt around the o-ring when you put them back in, you will end up with a vacuum leak.
