This is a great car & has been sitting in the garage for quite some time. Its our backup car. Upon starting it this morning it sounded like a diesel truck!Rough, Scary! After warming up though it sounds like it used to. Any ideas?
By the way, the airbag light will not go out because the drivers seat airbag was deployed when the back door was hit. All we did was replace the rear drivers side door & you cant even notice it.

The sound came from the engine because there was no oil in it from sitting. Once the pump was able to relubericate everything, it got quiet. Also, it may not run too good because the gas is getting old.

Let me know if you have other questions.
