Hey guys. I have an 08 GTS with a manual tranny. I noticed yesterday that there is a rapid clicking sound when I put my key in the ignition and turn it to the run position. The click lasts about a second. Im not sure where its coming from. Has anyone had this happen to them? It happens everytime I turn the key to the run position. The car still turns on and runs fine though. Not sure what to do?

 

OH MAN!! That does not sound good! Please take your car to the dealer immediately! or at least take it to an expert mechanic because that is a HUGE problem u are having! I feel for u man i really do, i would hate to buy a new car and have major stuff like that happen

 

yeah im pretty sure its the injectors priming. nothing to worry about. happens on every single 08 lancer

 

Thanks for the scare s21197.

 

Do you even have a lancer or are you deaf?

 

IF YOU MUST KNOW. YES. I am deaf in my left ear. (Car wreck)

 

Its normal dude and it not only on the manny tranny it also does it on the cvt as well.

 

Cool. Thanks guys.

It is you imobilizer. It is totally normal. Once you put in your key the imobilizer unlucks the engine so you can turn on the car. it is a safty feature.

 

no its your injectors the immobilizer only engages when their is a failed attempt at starting the car. this has been covered many times

 

umm guys, it the abs ecu checking all the modulator valves...good guess you had....snicker...
