cold start noises??
06 f150 5.4 4x4 1,500 miles.
When starting on a cold morning like today, (-2) engine will make a loud whirrrrr noise, or wined (SP?) up noise for about 2 or 3 seconds then stop, any idea on what this is?.
If it is plugged in, will not do it, and if temps about 20 or higher...
Also sometimes will hear a cling clang noise on some start ups for about 2 seconds or so..Like something is loses jiggling around....

Make shur you have the thin oil and a good anti-drain back filter for the cling/clang noise

Do a search on "start up noise" you will find that every year at this time there are many posts on this. And arguments as to what it is!
Apparently it is a normal sound.
The "Cling/Clang" you descibe is usually caused by a fram (Or other cheapie) filter, and or the improper use of 10w-30 and or it is just cold engine piston slap which is normal on a modern tight tolerance engine.

truck only has 1500 miles on it, but I was going in this week for an oil change, I will see if that helps. As far as the filter It is a motor craft, Right?
