I hear the same thing on my LX, but after it warms up it goes away. Let us know what you find out.

Why don't you think it's the injectors? Hondas DO that. Mine does it all the time, idling or whatnot.

I thought it was just my car! I just got an '07 LX coupe about a month ago, and I've recently noticed the 'ticking' sound as well. I seem to notice mine more after I've been driving for a while though, and definately only while idling.

Guess it's normal, but I've never owned a Honda before.

Yes, its the injectors. And it will get worst if you get CAI.

It could the injectors. My SI does the same thing and it was confirmed to be only injector noise.

However, if it is something else, the only thing I could imagine it might be is the EGR valve (if it has one) or possibly the valves if your running too light an oil (5w - 20).

Just my thoughts.
