Why does my Toyota Tacoma make a ticking noise when accelerating?
I was in the car with my mom the other day and she pointed out a ticking sound coming from my Tacoma whenever I accelerated. I’d never noticed this before, but I could hear it once she pointed it out. How come a ticking noise would happen while I was accelerating?

If your Toyota Tacoma makes a ticking noise when accelerating, you could be dealing with several different issues:
- Low oil level
- Low oil pressure**
- Exhaust leak
- Ignition malfunction
The issue will be best diagnosed at a Toyota dealership or your local certified mechanic’s place. And since you’ll already be working on car maintenance tasks, pop open the
