I just noticed a sound coming from the back of my car when I first start it, it sounds like water is boiling. Any ideas? it only lasts a few seconds.

 

It's probably just the fuel pump stirring up the gas tank. Any MIL or hard-start conditions?

 

Were you low on gas? Apparently our tanks only have one pump on one side of the tank. From what i remember there is a bulge in the center of the tank. If your low on gas the unit will gurgle trying to get the gas from the other side of the tank. Not a great explanation but im having a hard time remember exactly how it was put.

 

It's not when the tank is low because I am rarely low on gas. It starts fine in the morning. If I could not hear anything I would even know anything was happening. So it doesn't mean my fuel pump is going out?

 

I'll see if i can find the site i read that from.

 

the same thing happens to me.. sometimes i also have a hard to starting it if i just turn the ignition.. I need to put the key in turn the **** and wait for like two sec. and then turn the car on.. i think its the fuel pump getting started..

 

I backed my car into my drive way last night (trunk was higher then the front) and I did not hear it this morning, but I know I hear it when I am sitting level I wonder if the fuel pump is going out?

 

Yea, I Noticed That Same Sound A While Back...It Sounds Like Its Coming From My Back Seat, Passenger Side. I was Parked On A Flat Surface When I Noticed It

 

It is the fuel pump filling the fuel line, pump only stays on for a few seconds. There is also a "leveling" pump that moves fuel from 1 side of the tank to the other since we have tank in the shape of an upside down U and the fuel pump only sucks out fuel from 1 side of the tank.

 

Yeah, thats what i was trying to explain. ^
