I turn on my car, doesn't sound weird at all.

If I stop DEAD, and accelerate and make a RIGHT turn, the car 'chugs' and make weird noises. As soon as I straighten the wheel out, it goes away. If I make a left turn, it doesn't happen. I thought it might be something stuck in the wheel well, but it's not. I'm kind of out of ideas but I appreciate any help you guys may be able to give. It's not a suspension thing, it's definitely from the engine bay. It makes noise when I'm in gear, not while in neutral or park.

Thanks, really need some help here! ]]> 3 HerculesMO http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=972138 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=972089&goto=newpost Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:20:33 GMT I have a '99 Protege with AT. About a year ago I replaced the battery and alternator after it died driving home one night. Last night the battery light came on when I was at a friends house. I drove it home without any issue. Today while driving the dash lights began to flash and the radio shut off, then the car died. I haven't had a chance to check the alternator yet since the car is stuck on the road but it seems odd that a near new alternator or battery would go dead so quick. Any thoughts on what else I should look for?

Ps. It has been around 25-30° at night here, I know batteries don't like the cold but this seems like something different. ]]> 3 teege79 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=972089
