Please Help Me

My Ford Explorer (2001 Sport)

Is making a BUZZING sound.... seriously it sounds like a bee when I start it up. No rattle just... "bzzzzzz" My uncle told me he thinks this is torque converter and transmission related.. I still owe on the car so I dont know what to do.. and money is so limited...

Can someone please help?

It is hard to tell without hearing it with my own ears.

sounds like the IAC valve to me it's cheap and easy to fix

Just want to add, that when my IAC went it only made that noise when it was hot... quite after a cold start until it warmed up. And my IAC would had a loud "hummmm" sound and was not just on start up.

Does increasing the RPM's change the sound? If it doesn't, I don't think its torque converter related.

Do you have a digital camera? Maybe you could take a video of it, post it to www.photobucket.com (account is free) and then post the link here.

Oh.. and welcome to the forum
