Sometimes when I back out of the garage I hear a gurgling sound but not always. When the check engine light and trac off light came on I heard it as the car was idling after driving it 40 miles.

Normally this noise is an air pocket in the cooling system but I am not convinced of that yet. Here is a guide that covers the most common causes of this.

However, if your warning lights came, did you check for codes and find out what the cause of that was?

Here is a guide that will help with checking the codes.

Does the engine over heat at all? If so then that is the issue we need to start with.

So let's start with this and we can work through the possible issues once we understand a little more about the issue but we are going to have to start crossing these things off the list to narrow down what the issue is.

Thanks
