when i start my car it makes that buzzing noise, like when the car is started and u accidently try to start it again. This happens for abut a second when i turn on the ignition, does anyone know what it could be?

not that high pitched starter whine, right?
but that low buzz?

yup its the buzz, but it only happens for about 1 second than the car starts normally

it's your fuel pump working, if it DIDN'T make that noise you'd be in trouble

yeah i get the buzz too.. after i got turbo installed though, it also makes that high-pitched whine when i turn the car on.. like a dingo howling or something! what the hell's that? the starter? why does it do that and it didnt used to?

no i dont think its the fuel pump, i never had this sound before and it just started. Go start your car and try to turn the keys again while your car is running, youll get a "buzzing" type of noise, mine does that everytime i start now.
