weird noise when i turn the car off

As you probably already know i have a 1996 base 3k and i recently have been noticing that when i turn my car off, when the engine stops spinning, and when i open my door i my garage i have been hearing like a small grinding sound coming from the engine. Does anyone know what this may be? I am getting kind of worried.

You mean after the car shuts off you then hear a grinding sound? Do you hear it at all if the car is running?

Re: weird noise when i turn the car off

I dont here it when the car is running but i guess it is possible and i just dont here it. It is hard to explain.. just a grinding sound as the engine comes to a stop

Re: weird noise when i turn the car off

does it soumd like a loud mouning/ hising noise. because the same thing happens with my sl since i took off my resignator bottle and put a filter on. it could be the air flowwing through the filter. or i could be completly wrong. it wouldn't be the first.

Re: weird noise when i turn the car off

Well an open element filter would make the noise nightrider is describing, tahts normal. but that sounds like a vacuum, not a grinding, so i doubt thats the solution. Can you trace where the sound is coming from? And does it sound like metal on metal?

Just the obvious...did you check your oil? Perhaps its low or should be changed.

Doesn't low oil make a clicking noise? And wouldn't he hear it when driving, especially at higher RPM?
