hi, when my car has been left standing for a good couple of hours, when i fire it up its making a weird noise for a split second then go's, but when i start the car the rest of the day the noise doesn t occur. i have recently changed the water pump and timing belt and distributer cap and rotar arm, i don t know if this has something to do with it, please help with some ideas?????

Had the same prob on mine, sounded like an old tractor on start up in the morning, was fine for the rest of the day. Did an oil change and the noise hasn't come back.

Iâ€™ve got the same problem, first I thought it was the manifold but it could be the tappets, ill definitely try changing the oil because itâ€™s really getting on my nerves.

is it a grinding noise for say a second? then goes normal, could be your starter, i had this problem, it will be find to needs replaced for good, drive away at it!
