Clicking noise??
Recently I have noticed a slight but distinct clicking noise coming from the engine while it is running. When it was idling, I tried restarting the jeep and it seemed to go away...since then, I have heard it while the jeep is in drive. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this...Thanks for any help.

Can you take a video of the noise?
Fuel injectors make a clicking noise, which is normal and can sometimes be quite loud. Sticking lifters can also make some ticking noise.

There is also a valve in there, on the passenger side, that ticks on and off. It is the Vapor canister Purge control valve.

assuming your Jeep has a distributor, take a quick peek at the contacts inside and see if there is any uneven wear.. Indicates distributor bearing wobble...
