The other morning I had gone out to start my truck before work. I reached over from the passenger side to start it and upon doing so, the key slipped for a sec and I guess you would say I did a double start. The truck turned over for a split sec, thekey slipped and I turned the key again immediately. Now I have an issue with a slight ricking sound in the motor. It almost sounds like an exhaust issue but once the truck warms up, it goes away. A friend of mine told me it may be a coil pack or something like that but I really don't know. Does anyone have any idea what this could be. I am thinking something to do with the plugs because the noise is coming from the passenger side near the exhaust manifold. I really don't think it is an exhaust problem from starting it like this? Then again that's why I am here. I am not a mechanic by any means and would like some advice. I know I can trust you all since you have helped me out in the past. Thanks in advance for any info.
