bigboy292000 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 The car is always a bit noisy to start but it has gotten worse, I feel. Makes this awful screeching sound when started after sitting for longer period of time. There is also quite a bit of shudder through the car when starting. If it runs a little and then you turn it off and start it again, no noise. In this video - the noise is pretty much immediately following the turnover. I let it running a little longer and gave it gas a few times just to see if there is engine movement and there seems to be nothing out of the ordinary there. https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=2D58C9F2243B50BF&id=2D58C9F2243B50BF%21574693&parId=2D58C9F2243B50BF%21617&o=OneUp Am I overthinking this? Nothing to worry about? I think I last used Mobil 1 5w-30 oil, did a front and rear diff fluid changes as well as CVT drain and refill (both using Redline fluids) - all over a month or so ago.

ehsnils Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Mechanical high-pitched screeching? Might be a pulley that's noisy and ripe for change. Try removing the alternator belt and see if the sound is gone. If it disappears it's not the cam belt. I assume you have the EJ engine and not the FA/FB with chain driven cams.

FLlegacy Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Maybe the starter bendix sticking, it is a common issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGT Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Rebuild/replace starter, I had this same exact noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboy292000 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thank you!! That is then issue #3 I need to have the dealer look at (yes, I have an extended warranty plan): - right side clunk when going over bumps - AC makes squeaking noises when engaged; kind of odd - this noise now, hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
