If you're hearing a ticking noise from the engine of your Ford Explorer, refer to technical service bulletin (TSB) 11-8-26 for guidance on addressing a cold start ticking noise specific to the 2011 model. If this doesn't match your issue or model year, it could be due to low oil, a faulty fuel injector, or simply normal operation. If it's not clear, consider seeking a professional's opinion after they listen to the sound, as the Explorer's direct injection can sometimes cause ticking. Low engine oil may cause lifter noise, while failing fuel injectors can produce a distinct clicking sound. These suggestions can assist you in diagnosing the problem effectively.
