So tonight I noticed a fairly new problem. When I started my engine, I heard a sound that could best be described as metal thrashing around in my engine. It would last for about 10 seconds after starting and then it would go away.
It happened about 4 times and it would go away in 10 seconds or so. Just now, I was at the store. I started my car and heard the noise, but it didnt go away. I drove all the way home with it (a short drive) and got into the driveway. I went to shut the car off, but it was like the starter was stuck trying to start the car. As soon as I turn the key off, the motor would go to just cranking over, just like you were trying to start it. As soon as I put the key back in the on position, the engine would start right up again.
I was starting to panic and ran inside looking for something to disconnect the battery, but luckily the noise randomly stopped and I was able to shut my car down.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? Anyone know whats causing it?
