Hello, I have a litle problem with my RX8.

As you can hear in the video, it appears to be a strange sound in engine, some kind of rhytmic and metalic sound ( it goes like - click, click, click, click etc.). Nobody knows what it may be. My suspicion is fuel injectors or SSV, let me add that engine is worikng perfectly. The noise is showing it self only part time to time on worm engine work, after start up on cold there is nothink you can hear.

Please help me solve this problem.

It's normal. The slight knock I hear is likely the actuator arm on the SSV, if you touch it (search) and the sound goes away you will know for sure.

How is it normal? My car is doing the same thing. SSV ticks at idle only in Drive or Reverse. Not in Park. I know you can take it out and clean it. But all I've read is cleaning it made perfectly fine SSVs tick

Thank you for your opinion.

I don't know anything about engine mechanics, but it appears to be that kind of foult. Would you be so kind and tell me how I can fix that problem?
Is there any options to fix it quickly or shall I buy a new part and replace it?

I have not come across a quick fix.. you can replace the ssv actuator..I am guessing they dont sell separately so you may have to buy the entire ssv assembly.. Or cheaper solution is get used to it lol

Thanks

Could you be more specific and perhaps post a picture of a part that you have on mind. It would be easer for me to just buy it but I do not know what that SSV ACTUATOR is.
