wanted2b Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've wanted to ask this question since I got the car and just keep forgetting. When you first turn on the key and it starts up there is a noise like someone stepping on dogs toy squeaker. I know, sounds stupid doesn't it????

kawwy600 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 You mean when you turn the key to third position before turning the engine over? If so I believe that's the fuel pump engaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT NAJA Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 You mean when you turn the key to third position before turning the engine over? If so I believe that's the fuel pump engaging +1... happens each time you start the engine. Do you notice if the sound originates from behind you?

Ezareth Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've wanted to ask this question since I got the car and just keep forgetting. When you first turn on the key and it starts up there is a noise like someone stepping on dogs toy squeaker. I know, sounds stupid doesn't it???? Definitely the fuel pump. I always turn the key to the on position a few seconds before turning to the ignition position. I kind of think of it as an "arming" phase (= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanted2b Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yes, it comes from behind me. That probably is the fuel pump. I'm just used to the electric pump on my Monte that makes a noise all the time. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
