Engine noise
I have this noise that sounds like a tea kettle coming from my engine bay-its been hard to pinpoint since its so loud but it won't start till i drive the car for a little while and it tends to happen at lower speeds, once it starts tho it won't quit untill i turn the car off and restart it, then it disappears untill i drive it for awhile again. bought a can of wd40 and sprayed the pullies and the belt no change in the noise, grabbed a stethoscope and listened in thinking it would be the idler pulley but i dont hear anything unusual coming from there, the only thing i can think of is that small pulley between the PS pump and the WP as that was the only one that seemed to sound different. I'm still not 100% sure tho. Anyone heard anything similar?
