Today on my way to the office i slightly bottomed out (passenger side front bumper) but i checked and all was fine. Then i came back to start the car and it made this very odd sound like it revved but sounded like a freight truck. I then drove and it was fine(nothing wrong at all). I then shut the car off and started it again and nothing it was perfect. So i went back out about an hour later and started and it did it again, I then shut it off and restarted and it was fine. But every time i let it sit and start it, it makes this odd noise(sounds like its revving but is very loud and distorted). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bobby

Possibly a failing fan clutch? Would you describe the noise a bit more?

I think you are right i noticed the temp gauge raising to about 3/4 and checked the fan which was not spinning. Any idea on how to fix this?

It was actually the fan. When i bottomed out, i must have hit it hard enough to cause the radiator support to push up making the fan hit the shroud. So i pulled it back to factory spec and no noise or any other problems. thanks for the help guys.
