startup noise

howdy,
question-
anyone have an idea what is the reason for a fan-wistling type noise during the 1st minutes after turning it on is?
happens before I move or put it in gear and continues while I'm moving for a few yards. Then goes away. Just sounds different.

Thanks

Re: startup noise

I'm not complaining. You all should be jealous. It's cool. It's just winding up before the launch.

That's probably what it is. It'll cycle on and off for the first few minutes (I think it depends on if the engine is cold or not too ).

Re: startup noise

pull the fuse in the fuse panel for the AIR pump and see if it continues...then you'll know whether it is the air pump.

but my $$ is on that...

delete it...all that tubing sucks
