My 2005 Corrola starts and run fine but made a made a metallic whizzing sound/tapping sound on start up?
This morning was about the first cold morning of the season,about 25F,cold,wet.
Herrs what happen:
Yesterday When i first started the car, i heard a rather loud odd sound from the engine compartment. I stopped my car and restarted it 4 or 5 times, each time i heard the sound. The sound went away after 3 seconds each time. The car started fine,just with the 3 second noise.
I opened the hood and made observations as i had someone start and stop,start and stop the car. Before i describe where the sound came from, i drove the car about 200 miles the rest of the day and never heard the sound again. The car ran fine the rest of the day
The sound sounded like a metalic whizzing sound like a small motor on a toy,the sound may been a pop or tap sound to
r a combination of both sounds
If you look at the photo below, see the exhaust tube(i think those are called exhaust tubes) second from the right, the sound came from either in there or underneath it. Underneath there is a cylinder like object, almost looks like a large cigar. I think it may be a sensor, i may be wrong.
I checked oil that was fine. Spark plugs are at 95000 miles, so i know i need to change them,asap
When i get answers to my questions on yahoo, i donate $10 to a animal shelter. that means you helped

my first sentence above is misleading. this clicking sound incident was yesterday and was on start up. The sound went away after about 3 seconds
the sound was loud enough to hear but but not very loud.
