So, I could use some help with my wife's 4runner so she'll leave me alone. When she puts in the key and turns the power on--ACC and forward--whether she starts it or not, after about ten to fifteen seconds She hears a groan from about the firewall area. It lasts about 1.5 seconds and stops. Sounds like uuuurrrr. It's a low pitch. If you need more info let me know. Thanks in advance. Please don't make me call NPR's car talk with this, I don't want to feel obligated to "contribute". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
