[QUOTE]Originally posted by Rob95SE:
[qb]I have posted this issue a couple times before with no response and the posting of a couple days ago got no response. Is this an SE only problem that no one has solved? Are there only two cars with this issue?
On hot days when I restart my car it makes a resonating whine until I am under way and then it stops. This sound is often followed by a rough idle. Interestingly, if the car dies it often doesn't make the noise again on restart.
Here's the previous posting:
Whenever I drive my car in excess of 20-30 minutes, turn it off for say 10-15 minutes, and then start it up again (like running to the grocery store for something) my engine can't seem to maintain a constant idle, constantly revving up and down. In addition, I think I hear what might be close to the infamous moose sound, but I don't think that's the culprit.
The problem of course is worse during the summer than winter.
I know it's gotta be heat related, I'm just not sure where to look. The temp gage on the dash never really goes over halfway during these times.
I appreicate anyone's help.

I have had the EXACT same issue for the past few years. I live in MN so it only occurs on summer days that are over 80 degrees (not too many). I am planning on trying to replace my fuel filter (bad boy - 70K and I have not replaced it yet). I would like to hear from those who have fixed this issue.
I had this problem for a while and I took my car to the dealer and they had to reprogram it. If you have ever removed the battery cable for any reason your programming is off, unless you followed the reprogram procedure in the manual or taken it in for reprogramming. the latter being the easy way out.
