I turned it on, and there was just a high pitched whirring noise and then i got out and opened the hood and it kinda smelled like something was burning. so i turned it off and turned it back on and it was fine... im guessing this isnt good

 

Might be your alternator, that would smell like burnt hair and make a whirring noise if it was toast. Any CELs or electric indicator on dash (battery symbol)?

 

nope everything was normal except the noise and smell

 

Check all your hoses and belts to make sure nothing was rubbing or leaking too. Has this happened again yet?

 

yeah i looked over all that stuff, not very in depth, but i looked. but like i drove it around today and it was fine, so im not really sure what happened
