Why does my GMC Acadia make a clicking noise when idle?

When the engine warm-up is completed, the high pressure fuel pump will continue to tick at a lower rate of approximately one tick per second during idle. The clicking sound is the fuel injectors pulsing on and off under higher fuel pressures. These sounds are the results of a normal direct injection fuel system operating properly.

Where is the fuel pump on a GMC Acadia?

The main fuel pump is in the fuel tank as in most GM vehicles. The DI engines have an aux. pump that is driven by the left bank exhaust camshaft (at least this is the location on the Caddy CTS). The aux. fuel pump ramps up the pressure to about 1740psi so that the injectors properly atomize the fuel in the cylinder.
