I have a ticking that sounds like a plug wire is arcing on the driver's side of the motor but can't see an arc. Just had all six injectors replaced due to leaking fuel. Help Please!

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. I would check to make sure the spark plugs are tight.

I forgot to add that, it runs like it’s missing out too while driving it.

Oh yes, that sounds like the ignition system, I would replace the spark plugs, plug wires and ignition coils. Thanks for the video.

I’m hoping I don’t have to replace the coil packs but I am going to start with the wires because I took one of the back wires off yesterday and started it up and there was no difference in the way ran
