2007 Fusion V6 engine clicking?
So I was sitting in a drive through earlier today and noticed that my engine was making a clicking noise, I thought maybe it was the car behind me so I shut my car off and the sound stopped. Turned it back on and there it was again. Anyone on here with a V6 Fusion have the same noise? Or if anyone on here that knows about the 3.0L V6 could help that would be awesome.

Might be your injectors. I have the same 24V 3.0L in my Taurus and it's an awesome engine. 110,000 trouble free miles.

do you have a warranty? If so I would have it checked.

Nahh I'm out of warranty but I started it again earlier after it had been sitting for a little while and it didn't make the clicking noise. So I'm not sure what the deal is. I suppose I could take it to the dealership since there isn't really any local mechanic that I trust but I can only imagine how much the dealership would charge me. Ugh I get sick just thinking about it.

Thanks Phinxter, I feel a better knowing that this is a known issue. Although the procedure for fixing it kinda freaks me out. With TSB's you still have to pay for everything right? If so I wonder how much it will end up being to have this fixed.

If you go to a dealership and explain the issue, they should fix it for free, despite the vehicle being out of warranty (given there is a TSB on it)
