94 sedan B16a

Hey guys I have a 94 sedan with a 2000 b16a swap. The problem I'm having is that it's making a ticking sound by the injectors fuel rail area. Its not a constant tick but more like a morse code tickin. i have replaced plugs and wires and Ran fuel system injector cleaner. Also car is lackin power at all rpms especially 5500 and above. Won't go past 6500. But u can tell its cuttin power all the time. Fuel pressure is constant at 39 to 40 psi with a wallbro 255 kickin with no issuesAny ideas??

Use an automotive stethoscope and find out what's making the ticking. If you don't have one, use a long screwdriver. Place the tip of the screw driver against the components making the noise, and the butt of the screwdriver in your ear.

I used a medical stethascope(only thing I had handy) and I can't find it anywhere.. Put it on all the injectors all the spark plug wires and the fuel rail. Will a medical stethascope work for that? Also the tickin or the power loss doesn't occur when the car is cold. Only when the car warms up.

It doesn't sound like it worked considering you were not able to pin point the problem. It could be a bad injector, or valve lash. Get a tool that works and find the source of the tick

sounds like valve lash needs to be adjusted
would explain power loss and noise

Ill see if i can get the valves adjusted. Is it hard to do yourself. Would u guys recommend a shop to do it
