Couple things

Hey whats up long time but I have a few new problems first off my computer is shot I hook my scanner up to it to pull some codes and the scanner screen stays blank so I need a new computer and also I hear a kind of ticking coming from the passangerside of the engine the only discription I could make of the noise is if you were to take a piece of paper and stick it in a fan thats the sound I hear coming from my engine I'm going to search the forum for it but yeah My application is a 1996 ford bronco 351W/5.8 XLT and do you know where I can get a new upgraded computer for a good price thank you

Can't help you with the comp. but the ticking sound might be an exhaust leak. Does it get louder faster with the rpms?
Or something is hitting the fan.

Nothing is hitting the fan but yes it does seem to get louder with higher rpms maybe I have to replace the gasket inbetween the cylinderhead and exhaust manifold but one of my freinds said it could also be be a stuck valve I dont know but yeah feedback would be good thank you
