Although I don't know where this was originally posted, shouldn't it have been moved to the 2.4 forum?

Can you expand on the clicking.

Is it a solenoid type click when trying to start the car?

Does it click after it's started?

Is it the engine that clicks or is it in the exhaust system (i.e. location of clicking)?

If it's a ticking or tapping sound right after startup. I would take it in to make sure you don't have a sticking valve or something. Sounds like it's not getting lubed right away.

It is probably the injectors, GM injectors are ALWAYS loud.

Funny, of all the GM vehicles I have owned and purchase for lease, can't say I have noticed that.

Guess I have just been lucky.

Yeah, I've always noticed that on my MFI/CFI GM engines too.
