whirling noise in the front
just bought a 2k max, and every time i turn the key, b4 i start it, there is this whirring noise in the front engine bay. I couldn't pinpoint the location of the sound. but the sound is very consistent, it whirls about 4/5 times.. then stops.. it whirls be4 i start the engine and while i have the car in park, i think it whirls while i have it in drive too. It is a very consistent whirl/humming..
(sounds like something is spinning..whirling) (like a battery powered screwdriver)
any ideas?
thanks in advance
(btw bought the 2kmax for $2k.. 105k miles, car would stall at stop signs and redlights, so i just changed the MAF and its fine for now. Cant really take it out on the road until i get my plates which will be done in a few hours.)

Funny...I have the same problem from my 1997 maxima.
It occurs more when I am driving and I hear this grilling sound for 3-5 seconds then it stops for about 4 minutes and does it again. It sounds like an electric screwdriver. It is coming from the engine bay...I'd take a guess that the noise is coming from the right side..
I'm thinking it could be some temperature gauge or something like that.

So no harm in leaving it as is?
