The two systems potentially at fault that have been discussed are the high pressure fuel pump and the injectors. Now, to me, injectors would make more sense based on the fact that they are being exposed to combustion heat much more directly than the fuel pump. Although when dealerships replace fuel pumps, the crickets do seem to go away temporarily, so maybe it is the fuel pump at fault? Any thoughts?
