BBQ Tick on GS 350?
Hey guys,
Just bought a GS 350 with 29k miles. Service history looked good but I noticed my car has this weird tick. (Not the usual DI pump and vacuum pump tapping) I am no stranger to the 2GR engines and their noisiness but I've never heard this sound before on a GS.
It is similar to the BBQ tick from the mustangs. It sounds like a bbq lighter ->
Here is my lexus.

@EdgarLex - I've never heard a tick or click described as a 'BBQ tick' but I know the tick/click sound that a piezo igniter makes on a grill.
I suspect what you're hearing is one or more of the many computers and modules (Engine ECU, Powertrain PCM, Transmission TCM, HVAC control module, etc. that controls oil flow to the cams and variable valve timing mechanism, fluid to transmission for gear shifts, HVAC operation, etc. etc.
