New Sound!
howdee folks, there is a new funny sound (yes yes I know they're old cars)
Any of you guys have seen the inside of the dashboard? There is a loud KRRRRR that seems to come from behind the right hand vent. It only does that when I put the key on ACC when I start the car - sounds like a relay or something. When it does that, the car seems harder to start. The KRRRR stops by itself after a while, not always the same amount of time.
My guess is it is related to the petrol pump? Funny position for it though... Either that or my alarm.
Otherwise, enjoying my car a lot again! (thanks InspirationJason!)
Ideas please?

Re: New Sound!
reading my post I started wondering if it wasn't maybe the air vent trying to shut or open. Will go and see if I can recreate the sound by playing with the vent's controls. Still would like your thoughts on this.

Re: New Sound!

Re: New Sound!
howdee guys, found the buzzing thing - not a tor, but a relay. Can you tell me whether this is in your car or part of my stupid alarm? While this thing goes bananas, the car is harder to start and while running, misses a beat every now and again.

Re: New Sound!
fuel pump relay sits under the bonnet. that must be the alarm relay. remove the relay bridge the to contact wires and see what happens

Re: New Sound!

Re: New Sound!
yep, thanks. Only thing that made me think of the fuel pump is that it goes bananas for a couple of seconds after you turn the key, acc or start (like a pump priming). Problem is sometimes it doesn't stop krrrrring.
