For the third time in 2 months, I noticed when I first start the engine I can hear the the injects very load for a few seconds, and for several seconds today, before they quiet down. Then never again all day...anybody else got this problem?
injector noise

on the Lamndas 3.6 DI engine- at startup- theres 2 injector pulses or someting like that- then a switchover to 1 pulse.
you can tell the switchover because at some point in the warmup- the RPMs dip when the switch occurs.. could this be it?
Clearly seen on plotted data via the OBD port.
note the spike at -68 seconds....

ok...I think I figured out what's going on....when you turn the key on half way the fuel pump kicks on to load the injectors, some times the pump doesn't load the injectors fast enough, which causes the injectors to rattle before being filled with gas...
you sure its an ijector? usually ticking at startup is caused by a lifter sticking....sometimes can be fixed by switching brand of motor oils...my old 3.1 beretta would have it if i ran anything other then valvoline....guess the additives helped out...
