I heard it last night... it's the Fuel Pump. No worries.

 

lol , you guys are too funny

since were on the topic of simple things unknown...

here's one for ya....


my wife (x-wife now, thank god) at the time took my dog to the vet, because her rear area was like 5x its normal size swollen etc.

the vet told her (and probably laughed ) its normal, she's just in heat.

lol

party on

oh... and it doesnt happen all the time? just sometimes?

 

very cool, thanks.

 

Yea, its not consistent...one day it might dissappear and you'll never hear it again as did with my previous ride.

 

I thought of a couple more possibilities today......one is that you may be hearing an exhaust leak, which is easily found by lifting the car and having a closer look.

The other thought is that I've heard automatic transmissions make hissing noises from time to time. I believe it's valving in the tranny itself moving eraticly but could be deemed normal, and intermittent, so a definite possibility. A hard one to narrow down since you need to get under the car to hear where the noise is coming from at the time it's happening.

If the noises can't be tracked down, they will probably cause a Malfunction Idicator Light either for the engine or transmission, indicating a more serious problem has developed, tho I'm suspecting that it's nothing more than transient noises such as the fuel pump, engine noises, tranny noises.

See what developes.

 

thanks. my car is going in tomorrow for the bumper the dealer messed up... ill askthem. but they never answer anything so...
