Thread: Weird sound when turning car off

    Default Weird sound when turning car off

    Hi guys.

    I get this weird sound that kind of chatters every time I go to turn the engine off. The sound repeats for 3 or 4 times before it completely dissapears.

    This isn't normal right?

    The electronic throttle goes through a self-test every time the engine is shut down. It cycles through fully open to full closed and makes quite a bit of noise doing it. Maybe that's what you are hearing?

    I've noticed this, but i find if i turn the motor off and turn the ignition to off its much worse than turning the ignition to accessories first, then off slowly

    Never noticed this until Wardski asked if mine did it. Next time I turned it off I stayed and listened rather than walk away, sure enough it was making the noises.

    Noticed mine doing this recently after ignition has been on accessory only, engine not started while I test electronics installs.
