Weird Noise. Video Included.

[brob]

Recently my 94GT has been making some weird noises from the engine. Its only happens on cold startups and not if the engine is already warm. A little back ground of my car. Its a 94Gt it has 150000KM, American Muscle Cold Air, and Full dynomax exhaust. It started to happen about a month ago... around the same time i put on the Cold Air. Any help is appreciated!

And i may as well ask if anyone knows how i can fix my steering wheel cruise control button. You can see that its busted off... stupid tire iron.

Cheers!

my friend had a mustang that did that, and it ended up being the starter.

Try and get sound of it under the hood to where We can here it better. Then we get a better idea.

Don't know about the noise problem, but the cruise control unit has to be replaced as a complete unit. I had the same problem on a 2001. Rock Auoto sells them for 42.00. Look under electrical switch and relay catergory/cruise control switch.

Thats the starter dude. It's not pulling back soon enough so it grinds. Just replace the starter and you should be just fne

They are right, Its the starter! I just replaced mine last mouth, makes it start up nice, and it sounds nice . Just need an exhaust system to match O0

upr makes billit plates for the cruise control, might be a cheaper route if all you need is the plate

Thanks guys, Ive replaced a starter on a fox body so i think i can do this on my own.

Do you guys still want under the hood footage or is this for sure confirmed a starter problem.

Thanks, Brob.

It's definitely your starter.

Yeah man, its without a doubt your starter. Since you're replacing it anyway, try this and see for yourself. Once your car is running, turn your key to the 'start' position. The noise will be reproduced. That's your engine spinning at 1000+ RPM's and grinding the gears on your starter. Not sure why it's happening to your car on startup.. but that's definitely the problem.

Did you ever get the starter replaced? I have the same noise but I also feel a clunk in the pedals when the car starts and was wondering if they are related?

 

[brob]

No i have not replaced it yet. I'm in the middle of moving so i don't expect to replace it till mid December. I will post back when its done though, for informational purposes.
