'Buzzing' sound at idle, shift into gear and noise goes away.
'Buzzing' sound at idle, shift into gear and noise goes away.
5.5 auto.Here's a little background, today I changed my battery and when tightening up the negative terminal, I accidentally touched the already installed positive terminal
. (I had an extension on my deep socket for some stupid reason) I started it up, drove it home, no problems or strange noises at all. After piddling around with hard wiring my radar detector this evening I start the car up and have a couple of surprises. Check engine light and a 'buzz' noise at idle. The sound is almost like a fan very lightly hitting a fan shroud while fan is in rotation. Anyways, it seems to only do this under load because when I put it in drive the noise disappears. I tried pulling the codes w/o scanner...had an epileptic seizure, but believe I may have gotten a 1001 and 1008(will verify with scanner tomorrow). Can't find much about either of these codes on here so im guessing I have an uncommon problem. Feedback?

P1001 - Key On/Engine Running Not Able To Complete - Basically the KOER Self-Test started and then failed.
P1008 - Evap Canister Purge?? Not 100% on this one.
Sounds like you may have messed something up good. I'd run those codes again.

Well problem solved. This morning I drove car 2 miles to work so I could check the codes, and discovered that it was not taking off in 1st gear (2nd instead) Codes were u1000 and u1001. Basically the codes were a failure to communicate with one of the computers. NEEDLESS to say, I'm an idiot . While hard wiring my radar detector I used one of those add a fuse for mini fuses but I only put one fuse in the holder and it had a place for two. On top of that, I had incorrectly placed the fuse in the 'a/t cont' location, with only one fuse. Discovered what I did, made necessary changes and she drives like normal... Relief!
