Our cars have direct injection (similar to diesels)... fuel injectors directly in the combustion chamber that can operate at above 1000psi... Thats your ticking.

I don't think so, but you get used to it. I forgot about it until we bought another new IS and I remembered the concern that I had when we bought the first IS. Enjoy your new car!

I wish I read it in the forum before "complaining to my service dept first... Now I check "here" first. Was told the same thing....injectors... The great thing about this forum is it can save you money (dealer service complain)....but It can cost you money..MOd MOd MOd...Cheers!!!!!

Yea. I also was wondering the same thing before. Searched the forums also and found out that was normal. I figured if you just drive, your engine will just take over the noise. I love the engine sound when you hit the gas and go.
