I have a really odd kind of reving soud when i first drive off EVERY TIME. when i leave in the morning i start my car and let it idle while i finish getting ready for the day and when i first pull off it makes an odd sound ??? its almost like sumthing is starting up ??? i think its my ABS or sumthing to do with it bcuz if my foot is on the brake when that sound happens then the brakes kick in and stop abruptly ??? anyone heard of this ???

when i first read it.. i was like ummm.. it sprobably your motor reving up to go hahaha

but then i read it aaaalll. hrm.. dunno what that is mang. Its hard for us to diagnose sometimes on a furm because certain things make certain sounds but we cant hear it. =/ Im not too familiar with ABS systems, but i dont think they have a motor? correct me if im wrong. I hate brakes. haha
GL tho bud. Hopefully someone has more experience with this and can help you out.

are you talking about the infamous rotors? sounds like a big clunk? i've diagnosed that the rotor hits the wheel stud ever so lightly... at first i thought it was the sway bar endlinks...
every is300 i've driven, or friends that have an is300 hear this. weird
