The injectors will cycle and make a clicking sound before you start it.Thats what I'd suspect.

Injectors 1 & 6 cycle to bleed off any pressure in the system. That will continue until the ECU sees pressure from the CP-3.

Is this bleed down, CP3 pressure thing the reason for the very slight delay in the engine firing after you turn the key to the start position??

I think it is the grid heater continuing to cycle to harm the intake air. BUt i could be wrong.

clicking does not sound like its comming from the grid heater intake area, I left the key on to see if it stopped and after about 45 seconds it stopped.
