Default Buzzing from the engine

01 F150 w/5.4. Loud buzzing from top left of engine. It appears to be coming from either a coil or a fuel injector. It is for sure coming from that area so it must be one of them. Runs fine but the thing is buzzing really loud! Any ideas? Thanks

Didn't think of that. What makes you think that is the source?

Well that's good to know. I have a new one just haven't had time to put it in yet. Will have to do that this weekend. Annoying to say the least.

Has anyone replaced their valve with a breather/filter, and pluged the hose? If so. did you notice it running any better, or better fuel milage? I have to change mine due to the buzzing also, and figured that keeping the oil mist out of the intake and a/f would help. Thanks.
