so i bought my evo about a month ago, everything works and runs fine, my problem is now that it is cold, very cold, my car now on a cold start whines from 10-20 seconds depending on how cold it is, i want to fix the sound ASAP, it fairly loud and it a whining sound, any one have any ideas on how to fix it? also i dont want to pay a shop for something that can be an easy fix

lmk if you have any ideas guys

btw its a 2010 evo x mr if that counts for anything

 

Are all your belts nice and tight? Does it sound like a loose belt?

 

it actually sounds louder than that but i will double check

 

just checked the belts and they arent loose this sounds more like a whirling sound,

im uploading a video so you can hear it

 

Power steering pump...?

 

this is what it sounds like, its not as loud because it was a little warm when i started the car, but around 13 seconds in the video you can hear it but its much louder on a cold start

 

Dude ... I can call you Dude, yes? ... if that kind of noise is going to cause you to worry, you are not going to enjoy owning this car.

 

sent you a pm with my contact info

im hoping its not my tc

 

It can't be the transfer case; the car wasn't moving.

You need to relax a bit.

ps. commas are important; when I wrote "can I call you Dude" I was asking if it was OK for me to refer to you as a dude; I was not asking for your phone number; that would be "can I call you, Dude"

 

lol no worries, i was worried so i rushed and didnt even think about it, but my buddy who fixes cars and use to work on NASCAR cars said that it sounds like my CAI is leaking pressure and is making that noise because the piping is harden because they are cold and once they warm up they expand and close, he told me just to take it back to the dealership and have them find it since my car is under warranty, so not that big of a deal just annoying as hell

 

Dude, can I call you dude? Lol please I agree with Iowa just sell the evo and buy a different car.

 

There's at least one reason that your buddy used to work on NASCAR vehicles, rather than currently heads a NASCAR team. A cold-air intake is under vacuum, not pressure.

They also don't produce the kind of noise in your video. But a cold power-steering pump will, for example.

If you refuse to sell the car, maybe get a louder stereo and wire it to come on before you start the engine. That might work.

 

If only you knew the struggles of my evo 8 all the way up here in north dakotA. Power steering pump noises engine dies once or twice on startup, brakEs freeze together. Phui on you and your evo x lmao

 

I do know and I should probably admit that I used to have the same sort of thoughts as the OP. Teasing is probably not the best way to get him or her to relax, but it's all I know. You just have to let go when you own these cars. DILYSI and all that sort of thing.

 

My car doesn't make this kind of noise, at least if it does, it isn't that loud. Is this something I get to look forward to as I put more miles on the car?
