Welcome to the forum...

Well, ya, after a few days, they had time to breed and multiply.

Think about it - back in the day, when methyl parathion and DDT was widely used, we didn't have a cricket problem in cars -

I seem to have fewer crickets using E95. I don't think anyone knows why the pump makes noise, or how to fix it. I don't worry about it, I just preten it is a SC when I have them.

2017 86, always run 98ron.

The fuel system has never seen ethanol.

Crickets started around 7k km.

What's a 'squeaking accessory belt' when it's at home?


BTW, my car had its fuel pump changed (under warranty).. made a difference but still get the occasional cricket, depends upon weather and if I've filled it up with BP fuel instead of Shell.

Are we really still bitching about this? No offense, but surely you all have figured out after 6 years that it's the fuel injection system, right? I laugh on Mustang forums because they complain about a "ticking" noise in 18+ MY's and I'm like "welcome to the direct injection club boys, now you know how us back at ft86 feel". But seriously, the crickets are here to stay, it's a byproduct of the direct fuel injection, not a whole lot you can do about it. My advice? Make your car's idle as deep and loud as possible. Drowns out the crickets when your exhaust is highly illegal
