I have a 1997 cobra with a coyote 5.0 engine. Car has been great ever since the swap. I have 1500 to 1700 miles on engine. I have run it very hard before and everything is perfect.
I have not driven it for like 2 weeks and I went to drive it. All was fine but when i parked it at a store and then came out and started it up to go home, it was making a very loud scraping like noise immediately as it was started. It was coming more from the back of the engine near the flywheel. I checked everything immediately, oil pressure, temps, etc. and all looked good so i slowly drove home. Everything performed normal - but that noise was so loud i was hearing it over the exhaust and even with windows up. Then half way home it suddenly stopped. I was only like 15 minutes from home this whole time. Anyway, I made it home and can't figure out what the hell happened. I did smell something too - like electrical burning smell or just a funky smell. But it was very very slight smell - might even be in my head. I looked under car and all over engine bay area. I have no other symptoms. What could this be? It was loud so something is up. It didn't appear to be exhaust related. And I dont even think it changed sound as car went up in rpms but it was so loud and non specific sounding, as it was a scraping noise, that was hard to determine that. Any ideas?
