Ok I dont know how to explain it.... but when i start my 420A clipse it makes this sound thats kinda hard to explain. Ok ima explain it to you but dont laugh at the way im explaining it. You know the movie 2F2F when their racing for pinks.... well when the evo is goin up against the yenko and the yenko chickens out at the last minute and stals out.... well the sound it makes when it stals out thats the sound my car makes whenI start it.... If anybody can understand this and knows what might be the problem please let me know.

 

sorry but i still have no idea what kinda sound your talking about. Does it only make this sound right when you start it. How long does it last. Could it just be a belt squeeling. Try and figure out where its comming from in the engine bay

 

Its not a belt squealing.. I know what that sounds like and yes its only when i start the car... the sound doesnt last very long... it kinda sounds like the crank but im not sure. you know when the crank shaft goes bad and u can hear it like knock well its kinda like that butyou only hear itfor a second.

 

I know what you're talking about! It sounds like the car's "coughing" with it's gears and dying of cancer, right?

Or are you talking about like the old cartoons just as a car is about to break down?
