Default Fuel Injector Problems

My non-Si Civic has been making an extra loud ticking coming from the fuel injector since I bought it. I believe it is sticking and has been the cause for the car to not completely turn over on a few starts. It really is loud during idle and even after being out for a drive.
Anyone else have this problem??

Your probably hearing the evap Purge control valve. When it's on a higher duty percentage it sounds just like a fuel injector. I doubt that it's an issue but do feel free to take it in if you suspect there is a problem.
Also if it's giving you a longer cranking time be sure to turn the ignition switch to on, wait for the check engine light to go off then start it. It takes a few more seconds but it garuntees a quicker start.
