#1 of 4 Loud when idling? by samiaml Oct 13, 2009 (3:26 pm)
Hi i have a 2006 Pontiac Torrent and have been havin it in and out of the shop for the long cranking ignition (of which after almost a yr they still cant figure out the problem) but the last time i got it back from a different dealer my truck sounded a lil loud when idling.... i didnt notice it before but my husband says for 1 its a suv so its gonna b a lil louder and for 2 its a Pontiac, there all loud.... Does n e body else wit this same truck notice the idling a lil loud??? Is it normal???? Has mine been doing it all this time and i really never noticed it???   Thanks, Samantha Replies to this message: choochoo2136 (Oct 19, 2009 3:40 pm) ssiebenaler (Nov 19, 2009 1:30 pm) samiaml (Nov 20, 2009 6:58 am)

Replying to: samiaml (Oct 13, 2009 3:26 pm) hi i have the same vehicle and i have both the problems. sometimes it cranks a long time before it fires and starts...with sometimes it not starting the first time. and i have noticed since i ever had it that it is unusually loud for a car. especially when cold. it has the notorious gm "tick" when its cold which is common on all v6 and v8's made by gm. i have been told on the cranking issue that it has something to do with the fuel pump because it is not priming the engine right away like it is supposed to. going into the cold season i am about to replace the fuel pump in a couple weeks ill let you know if that fixes the problem.

Replying to: choochoo2136 (Oct 19, 2009 3:40 pm) Hi a few times ago when i had my truck in the shop they checked the fuelpump and said everything was fine, they hav also replaced the ignition switch and that wasnt it either... Ive had GM involved since almost the beginin so finally after almost a yr GM is gonna send a GM mach to take a look at my Torrent, so we'll c how that goes!
