According to you, our DI was broken the first few hundred or thousand miles and only began working "properly" like all the others after it unbroke itself?

My point is, the cricket noise is just like the whinning noise the super charger makes, the woosh noise the blow-off valve makes or that clunk on a diesel engine. There is nothing wrong with the car, just get used to it.
Other cars with direct injection has the cricket noise also, maybe not all, or not in other places(higher octane gas?), but when I heared it on a kia w/di, and even on a lexus is(not sure is 250 or 350) that was idling, I was preety much convinced.
Some or most of us here is new to Direct-Injection technology, preety much the first car owned w/Direct injection, so we wear some thing not normal does not mean something is broken or something is wrong.
