weird sound...then SES...then BLECH!!!
weird sound...then SES...then BLECH!!!
Ok......for the first little while I drive my car it is fine, but then as the temperature goes up something weird happens. If I am cruising and I hit the gas hard enough to accelerate considerably.....this terrible sound comes from the hood. It's a loud high pitched scrapping sound that stops after like a second.....but then the SES light comes on. Once this happens the car is slow as s**t and the exhaust makes a horrid echoing sound, as if extra gas is burning in the muffler, but it still runs and drives. If I turn off the car and restart it....the SES light is off and the car runs fine.....unless it decides to make the noise again.
