I have a 2000 Taurus with the check engine light on. When I start the care, and for a while after, it makes a sound that reminds me of the sound made when shuffling a deck of cards. I have not had the codes read yet, since I've had bad experience with that before (codes said a lot of different things when it was none of those that was causing problems in past. Had to have thorough diagnostic to find problem.) Any ideas on what the problem could be?

As far as your previous experience goes, code checking never tells you exactly what the problem is, it's simply a means to get an idea as to whats going wrong. every system in a cars computer is complex, so sometimes these things take time. i suggest you get the code pulled, and post it as people can help you to understand it more and fix it urself.
