I am a noob to the car and I have a question. When you guys start your cars when they are cold and have been sitting, do they make a loud whine that slowly dies off as the rpms start and the car warms up? I am hoping this is normal, I just got the car last week.

 

Anyone experience anything like this?

 

every morning! you have the studdering stumble too, until it gets warm?

 

Probably just the serpentine belt a little stiff.

 

i have this too.... its ok

 

Whew!! Thanks guys, I just want to make sure. I let my car get a bit warm before I drive and I let it get totally warm before boost is even thought about. Thanks for the quick responses.

 

I have heard this on my other cars, I think it has to do with the air intake. (Atleast, that seems to be what it is)

Don't quote me on that though.

 

yeah, when its too cold out there just let it warm up alittle before driving it. When its too cold, my tial bov will not fully open and i get compressor surge everytime i shift....

 

I am sure it's normal.

My car makes that noise too.
It also makes a slight vacum noise for about a minute unitl it's warmed up.

 

yeah my car has that noise coming from the passenger side, it's normall.

 

It's not it. I have that too, and it's coming from passenger side - it's power steering

 

All my DSMs did it. I contributed it to the oil pump / PS pump and the oil being a little thick on cold days.

 

only for a second or two, and the engine settles down some more when i release the clutch with the car not in gear of course...

 

Update! I finally took the car in, they replaced the timing belt tensioner pully and the noise has now been gone for almost a week. Hopefully it will stay gone.

 

that good. let us know if the noise stays away forever because it sounds like a lot of evos are having the same problem.
