Im pretty sure our injectors do that the first time u turn the key? the "buzz test" iirc, so it might just be that.

You know I wonder if that's what I have been hearing on my truck too. I never thought it might be that GPR. I just replaced mine a couple weeks ago and now when it is glowing, but not running, I do hear a faint hum coming from under the hood. Almost sounds like an electric fuel pump, but obviously that's not the case on my truck. I never noticed it before the GPR109 went in. I'll have to take a closer look!

The one I got from Napa does that. I took the first one back and got another and it was the same. Noisy whine. Not all the time but it was pretty loud when it was new.

Mine doesn't buzz really it just sorta "rings". I can hear it from the cab if it is quiet outside, but I can definitely hear it from the front of the truck. There were a couple other who said theirs made some noises as well. I'm not going to worry about it as long as it is working. And if it quits, I'll buy a Stancor relay.
