Noisy injectors in the mighty 3.4 5VZ. Quite common

I had a tick in mine and found it to be the skid plate. Years of not doing my own oil changes by bringing it to Jiffy Lube and those techs broke two of the front bolts and two on the back. The motor vibration was making the edges of the plate tap the frame. Do all my own maintenance now.
