TB making a clicking noise with the ignition on but motor not started

As the title states, I'm hearing a clicking noise which seems to be coming from the TB on my car when the ignition is on and motor not running. It's a continuous on/off clicking noise not just a couple clicks. I've been having issues with the car surging once in a while at idle and also will kill here and there. I thought it was in the tune, since I recently added bigger injectors. Have been working with Speedriven on the tune but unable to fix the surging/killing. Is this noise from the TB normal and has anybody had this issue before.

Yeah, it just keeps clicking. No codes though and it's a stock TB
