Cold Start Up Noise My car has developed the sound a baby chick or a chirping bird on a cold start up. My car is not a DD so i do not drive it all that much. What can this noise be? At about 1 minute into the vid you can hear the chirping sound.. Any ideas?
I was thinking a lifter is leaking down? But i have no ideas

I didn't hear it in the vid, but try the drive belts. Spray a little wd-40 on them when the are making the noise. If it goes aways there you go. Lapping compound works great to get rid of it for good. Just a little dab.

it starts at 1 minuets, ignore the exhaust and you can hear the high pitch chirp sound

That way you eliminate all the accessories.
ok i will try the WD40... only a little bit though... the belts are new. put them on in February. I put on Gatorbacks.....
Glad you heard what i was hearing...
Thanks
