So in my car I noticed a diesel sound at start up that would last a minute or so at first (probably started about a week ago). When I listen under the hood the top end sounds a little noisey but its hard to listen "around" the gear lash of the SC. Now the noise is always present and in the car but doesnt have that sound of cards in a bicycle spokes like I've heard in some of the youtube vids. The sound is more like the car is a diesel but this is IN the car, under the hood it just sounds like the motor is a little noisey. I've checked oil levels and they're perfect and I've never romped on the car when it was cold (not that this is relevant info for the issue).

I was wondering if this is also similar to the TCT problems or if its possible I have a valve way out of adjustment. The one youtube vid that sounds similar the guy said it was resolved by going to the dealer and getting a valve adjustment where another that sounds the same said it was teh TCT. I'm going to the meet tomorrow night but I just need someone to and tell me its probably the TCT since I'm driving up to Boston saturday morning and that would be easier then having to do an emergency valve adjustment.

TCT makes a clicking noise.

Does it sound the same in the car as it does under the hood?
