funny sound Sign In

2002 Kia Sedona
136,000
6 cylinder/automatic
Okay this is an interesting issue I am having with my 2002 kia sadona mini van. Every time I first drive it after it has sat for a good long time (more then 5 hours) when I put it into gear, either D or R i hear a sound from the engine area until I fully accelerate. I can leave the car in park or neutral and rev the engine and don't hear it. Once the car warms up I never hear it at all. The only time I hear this sound (like a grrrr sound) is when the van is cold and between idle speed and say 5 miles an hour, because as I excellerate the sounds goes away. What might this be?

Just from the description it almost sounds like a trans issue. I would see if you can get the noise to happen while sitting still, maybe have someone pwr brk it for you and try to pinpoint the noise.....

I would also check the heat shields on the exhaust for looseness & engine brackets for cracks.......

Usually I back into my drive way but didn't on Sat so I had to back out this morning and the noise was louder, but again, after just a few minutes of driving and the car and such warming up the sound is gone. I can rev the engine in park and neutral and nothing, and again only lasts just a few minutes until the car has warmed up and then no noise at all.
