Q: Sequaling noise on light acceleration when the engine is warm
When the engine is warm, light acceleration leads to a sequaling noise. I feel like it is coming from passenger side. The sound will go away if I release the gas pedal. Also I don't find any noise when I press gas pedal. Any idea will help.
My car has 78000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
