when I start up my car after it sits for a few hours it makes this reving noise..... its not the engine, i dont think. it might only be when it sits in the cold. i got it a month ago so i dont know. i turn the key and it makes the noise kind of like when you first start a vaccum. it lasts no longer then 2 seconds. i hope someone knows what im talking about. its kind of hard to explain.

 

can you tell where the sound is coming from?

 

sounds like somewheere under the hood

 

can you tell where the sound is coming from?

 

it makes this noise only after 2 hours of sitting?

 

kinda like a screeching noise? i believe its the starter...i have the same problem, only when its cold though...there was a few threads about it, try doing a search...i didnt read thru them all, so i still havent figured out the exact problem, but i believe its a need to regrease the starter?

 

it does it after sitting around 10 hours.

its not a screaching more like a vroooom.

 

#1 Why is your car sitting for 10 hours at a time
#2 Are you sure it isn't you engine reving?

 

yea its not the engine reving

 

once in a while i used to hear a scratching sound when the car sat for over 15 hours. I think it's from not enough oil being in the crankcase , and it that brief moment where it's being pumped up there.

 

you sure its not the fan turning on? , did you pop the hood and check maybe you'll get it right when it happens

avoid all if your already going;(

 

It's the starter. Mine's been doing it for 2 yrs mostly in cold weather. You can fix it by taking it apart and greasing it (there's instructions on a site I saw - maybe search google for it).

Thats your heater. lol, on my car it does make the same sound. acutally if you have your heater all the way up it makes sound like air plane. you are good. nothing is wrong.
