I never here anything from my gpr109 until it cycles off. I really have to listen for that.

Could you be hearing the vac pump priming up?

Do you have gpr led installed?

Solenoids are nothing more than Relays which are beefier. Buzzing or vibration indicates the magnetic field is not steady. This could be due to a loose wire, wire end, wire connector bolt, chafe, bad ground, or the solenoid itself.

Just give you're wiring a good look-see and make sure that ground is clean and not corroded or overly dirty.

All connection at the gpr were nice and clean, i even took some emery cloth and cleaned them up more before installing the new gpr . guess i will see what happens with the new one, where is the ground for the gpr? Grounds when you bolt it to the engine?
