noisy engine

I have a 2003 Tacoma with the 2.4 litre engine. When the engine is warm
and idling at 750 rpm, I hear a clicking sound(kinda like a diesels).
The dealer says it the injectors. I notice the noise goes away when I
press the gas pedal ( at approx 900 rpm). The dealer says they can`t
raise the rpm idle.Anyone else have this noise?....It`s embarassing to
think I bought a Toyota for the quality & reliability but am embarassed
when the truck idles `cause the engine sounds so awful. This engine
doesn`t purr anything like my Sienna`s.

My '02 did that for much of the last year. It went away when I reached the
point of needing to have the spark plug changed out by age/mileage.

While I didn't opt for the premium plugs, they did install a 'better' set
than the older OEM. A bit better mileage and much better pull - smoother
idle as well.

Could be coincidence, but ???

Embarrassed? That's an odd reaction to an engine problem.

Not if you care about your Toy and people are looking wondering what the
'noise' is. <G>

Odd, If its the injectors why not Replace them? If is a really loud
Clacking Noise at Idle, you may have something more Serious then
Injectors.

Buying a Toyota doesn't mean its more Reliable, Actually its a study
given to show what cars go into the shop more freqently in the First
year of Ownership. It seems that Toyota is generally the Lowest, but
Its percentage is still around 8% . What about After the One year Mark?
