Had my 2000 2.7 Base since Easter and loving being its new owner.
Going strong after a MAF and throttle body clean thanks to the combined advice from the knowledgeable members of this great forum.
Recently, however I've noticed a rather embarrassing sound being produced when the key is turned off and the engine stops. It lasts for around 1 second or so and sounds a bit like air is escaping from somewhere and making a brief noise not unlike a child's squeeze toy (for want of a better description).
It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car and I suspect the right side for no particular reason.
Any suggestions regarding a way I might locate the source of my car's apparent indigestion?
TIA.
