A dealership recently cleaned my fuel injectors and did a pcm update. After getting the car back I noticed that when I turned the engine on I heard 3 or 4 knock sounds from the back of the car as the engine started. A friend said it might be the fuel pump. It stopped and the car seemed to start without making any unusual sounds and a couple of weeks have gone by. The noise reappeared reappeared once today and stopped. Does anyone know the cause/cure?

None of the things they did had anything to do with the fuel pump. However, I have heard them make that type of noise. Does it seem to be coming from the fuel tank?

The knocking does seem to be coming from the back of the car in the gas tank so I'm guessing it's the fuel pump
