2.4l 98 Grand Am Sounding Like a Diesel for a few seconds to Minutes

Mar 15, 2006 2 Replies

When I first start up the car it sounds like a diesel until I give it a little gas..



At first I thought maybe the lifters or something were starting to get noisy, but it isn't temperature related.. IT can be cold as hell and not do it one day but do it the next..



IT can be warm and do it or not..



It goes away as soon as I give it a nice amount of gas...



It seams like it take more gas recently to make the sound go away...



Once it goes away it sounds normal..



Any Ideas?
