Hi guys, I started hearing a chirping noise when car isn’t driven for a couple of days. Noise disappears after 10 to 15 seconds. Noise still present with belt removed. Anyone resolved this problem? Thanks ��

Very common cause for that in these cars is a slightly loose spark plug. It starts chirping (kind of like a littel bird) usually when the engine heats up a bit.

Thanks, I hear the noise on cold start for 10 to 15 seconds and then it stops. Thanks for your thoughts.

Verified the spark plugs today and found a loose one let’s hope that was the cause of the noise. Thanks for your help very appreciated, all the best to you from Canada
