alternator? that's the only thing that even remotely makes sense to me. Since you are using power, I believe it still comes on.

mine does that also. But only when i pull the engine fuse to unflood the car. I have no clue what it is. Never tried to track it down. Just put the engine fuse back in and all's well. ^_^

Fuel flowing through the rails in some cases, the BAC valve clicking rapidly in others.

Put your finger on a fuel rail and see if it is that. THen try the BAC valve.

Either is normal.
