Why is my Ford Ranger's engine making a strange noise?

I recently noticed that my Ford Ranger's engine is making a strange noise. It doesn't seem to affect the performance, but I'm worried it could be a sign of a bigger problem. What could be causing this and what steps should I take to address it?

It's likely just a small issue with the engine that can easily be fixed. I suggest taking your Ford Ranger to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic test.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a loose belt. It's best to get it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.

Your Ford Ranger may have a faulty spark plug or ignition coil. This can cause strange noises in the engine. Get it checked and replace any faulty parts.
