Question Gurgling sound when pushing accelerator

Has anyone had this issue? When I begin pushing on the gas I hear a gurgling from the front of the car, but it ends up going away a few seconds later. Any ideas?

Maybe the condensation from the AC hitting the catalytic converter on the passenger's side? ? ? ? ? ? ? Maybe.

Do you mean when you start accelerating pretty aggressively, or just very slowly pulling away from a stop?

I had this once it was the hooker in the trunk having a siezure. JK man.

You been running the ac pretty heavy the past few days. Does it sound like water being sloshed around or an actual gurgle.

Default No hookers, ha!

The sound occurs during normal acceleration and is not at all times. Also, the A/C does not have to be in use for this to happen. I didn't know if anyone else has experienced this sound, but it certainly comes from the front of the car, towards the passenger side when I press the gas. Thanks for the comments...anyone else with similar experience?

Well your heater core and all that good stuff is behind the passenger side dash. You may have a leak in there or something only thing is to get to practically the whole dash has to come out. Your coolant get low every so often? Sorry I'm not 100% sure on this one but free bump for ya.
