My car is making this noise during cold start up, but it goes away when the car is running. Can anybody please help me diagnose the problem and help me fix it? All input will be appciated. Thanks in advance everyone

 

sounds like some type of bearing. Or maybe the starter is sticking. Its more noticeable in the second time you had ur friend start the car though

 

The video is not mine, i did my research and found this clip. My car makes the exact same noise but only on cold start? Couldn't find answer anywhere! Anybody having the same issue?

 

bump

 

What part of the engine is the sound coming from? Get a stethoscope and pin point where the sound is coming from. Could be lots of things, starter, timing chain rattle, heat shield rattle.

 

Starter is not disengaging properly. Mine does it when I gets colder out. When it's warmer out no issues. Been like that since I bought mitsu by me tried to tell me it was normal. So they would not replace it . Little did they know I was a master certified tech. I am just to lazy to change it out.my car is an 08 evo and did it the first time I started it after sitting over night .

 

did you ever fix the problem? do you thing replacing the starter motor can resolve the noise? kind of paranoid about it lol.

 

Did you ever get this issue resolved? Mine just started doing this too. After the car is warm though, it goes away when I shut it off and restart.

 

Not sure of the outcome of it, but it definitely sounds like its the starter not disengaging correctly. If you can, pick up a cheap mechanics stethoscope from harbor freight or Amazon. Put it on the starter and have someone crank it. If its the starter you'll know.

 

Whats the story on clutch?

Could be a disk issue....

 

my car was going into storage . Starter is coming Getting the car out of storage at the end of April so I’ll post an update .

 

Any Update?
