when i start my car in the morning after it has been off for awhile, i get a pretty loud clatter noise that goes away after about 30 seconds-1 minute. anyone know what this is?

 

i have a sound also when i start my car after its been off for awhile.. it also lasts from 30 secs to 1 minute, it kinda sounds like a broken part.. someone told me it was some fluid being pumped or something but i dont think thats it.

 

Noisey lifters. You car is under warranty. Take it back and have them fix it.

 

i have a certified warranty.. its included in there? cuz everytime i go to the dealer they treat me like garbage and tell me how blah blah if i broke it u gotta pay for this and that and if its wear and tear we dont give a (#*%&(# and yea..lol

 

The car is under warranty. They are responsible for fixing it.
Be polite but determined.

 

do you know what is included in the fix?

 

Could be low oil pressure at engine head. Have them fix it.

 

My 99 also made a flutter chatter type of noise on startup that lasted about a minute or so. I could not pinpoint it but when i changed the serpentine belts it went away, so that must have been the problem. It seems that when the belts are cold they contract and make a noise until they warm up and expand (rubber softens).

You might want to check the condition of your belts.

 

oo alright.. thanks alot

 

Well so much for that. I swear it went away for a couple days but now it's BACK. I'm not sure what the new belts did for short time but that did not cure it. The belts needed changing anyways (PITA). Need to figure this one out. Flutter noise for the first couple minutes of driving when pressing the pedal (not idle) from cold start (or tepid start) then it goes away. I do not think its the lifters because it goes away fairly quickly. Anyone?
