Noise made when you hit the gas pedal????
Guys,
I did a quick search and did not find anything about this. I also don't remember hearing this noise when I got the car two years ago.
When I hit the gas pedal a sound is made exactly as you hit it.....and also when you release the gas. It sounds like a slight buzz...is this sound normal? Is there a part wearing prematurely or something?
Just wondering,
Paul h.

Paul, I see what you may be referring to... These cars are DBW - no linkage between the gas pedal and the throttle. What you are hearing is the sound the throttle actuator makes when opening/closing the throttle.

Guys,
Thanks....I had a feeling that it was normal but was not sure. I don't remember it being so firm a noise when I got the car, but you always hear more when you own and live with the car for a while.
Thanks for the replies guys/gals!
