is this normal?
« on: 14 February 2009, 21:07 »
every time i start my car, once i let go of the key a wierd noise comes from the engine. its hard to explain though, it sounds like when you spin a wheel yoo fast and it wobbles but more high pitched  :huh: (something like that anyway) but its definatly a spinning sort of noise or a rubbing

If its a high pitched squeal it could be the secondry air pump. Mine comes and goes.
