A new sound...

[Enid/Jeremiah <hispanicangeleyes@xxxx>]

Hey there everyone!

As the time draws for 3299 to go get the tranny fixed again, I decided to take it out for a light, LIGHT drive just to keep the fluids moving and what not. A new sound has reared its ugly head; I'll describe it to the best of my ability. My tranny is an auto just FYI.

As I drove to a stop light, I slowly pressed the brakes (I already need new front rotors). While the car was idling, this noise began. The best way to describe it : you know the "radio fuzz" sound you get when you change radio stations with a turn knob radio dial? The imcomprehendable "bzzzZZzzzZzz" you get with turning the radio dial around, or when your TV shows nothing but "snow"? That's exactly the noise I was hearing. It wasn't very loud at all, and it went away after about 5 seconds. It did it one more time on the way home. When it happened this second time, I hit the accelerator; it had no effect on the sound. There didn't seem to be any direct correlation between the accelerator and this new sound. It didn't sound "rotational"; the sound didn't seem to run in consistant cycles. I parked the car, put it in park, and let it idle. Nothing happened. Hit the accelerator while in park - no "radio fuzz" sound.

To say the least, very unusual. I had to go to work immediately after I parked the car, so I haven't had much time to really diagnose the sound or its origins. Any ideas anyone? 

Man, when they said the DeLorean was a lifetime project car, they weren't lying ;).
