noise under the hood

I have a 2000 maxima, and when i turn on the car in the morning, or when it has been standing outside for a few hours, it makes a loud noise that sounds like something is grinding. And then after a few seconds it stops.

Does anyone know what it could be?

you seem knowledgable, but no one can understand shit you're saying in 90% of your posts and i doubt this guy's gonna locate his problem on autozone's homepage. and my sig has nothing to do with anything, so that was just stupid.

Now butter some sicko on that. i still can't understand you:banghead:. are you trying to say that maxima's don't use timing chains? i can't say for sure about a 93 maxima but i know for a fact that 1995+ maxima's use a chain to time the valves, not a belt and they tend to rattle when it's cold out. so, "butter something blah blah" yourself, jacko.:screwy:

Must be from the far reaches of northern ireland.

Nako. buddy.You really need a better hold on the english lang.Can't understand your ramblings.
