Hi,

Did you notice any leaks? Also, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running? Have you checked the transmission fluid level?

As far as the noise you heard, were you driving at the time? Also, when you place it in gear and press the gas, does the engine just rev as if it is in neutral?

Let me know,
Joe
