I experienced the same issue at a dealership and spoke with the head service tech to confirm. Hope this helps! samabhi12 05-31-2009, 08:39 PM This is your hydrolic cam shaft building pressure. it should go away after 30 seconds or so.

One of my friend has similar problem but I think it is not hydrolic cam shaft building pressure. |
