Each time i get a little stupid and rev the car up while it is in neutral or park, there is a loud rubbing ( this is the best i can make of it) sound. Each time i crank the car up when it has been sitting for awhile and turn the wheel just a bit..it makes the same sound and acts as if it is going to cut off. If you have ever tried turning a pipe into a tight hole and heard a stress sound or weird loud creaking souns, that is it! i have a thought that it may be the water pump??!! Help would be appreciated!

Bleed by turning steering from lock to lock a few times. Then try bleed procedure again after a few hours. or it could be the Moose problem if it sounds similar to this... http://www.sanpedro.com/sounds/foghrn10.wav To fix Moose problem, put hose clamp in the middle of 45 degree hose (between the IAC valve area and inlet duct (accordian tube). Tighten until the moose (foghorn) sound is gone. Last edited by Tony2005; 10/01/05 02:36 AM. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles

I'm guessing this is the "moose" sound I've always read about. I'm going to try the throttle hang fix and see if that does the trick or not.
