  • Bubbling noises from my engine? Yeah...

    So I've noticed that when I start my car, my engine makes a pretty consitant bubbling noise. It's sort of like the kind of bubbles you hear when you blow into a drink with a straw or a more accurate description would be the bubbling you hear when you use a water pipe.

    It seems like it's coming from my air box, or at least around that area. I'm thinking, since they're in the same area, it could be my radiator? My coolant meter shows I'm running a fine temperature but maybe it's low? I had it flushed and filled 3000ish miles ago but maybe it's time to do so again?

    Does anybody else have any ideas?

    That's a normal sound for the slanted TB 3.8s, and it's just that much more noticable if you have an intake system. Nothing to worry about.
