Ok, I have a 93 hatch eg with a stock b18c1... When I turn the car to "on" I am getting aloud grinding noise... Sounds like its metal on metal and It happens in nuetrul or in gear. I had to drive it a block home and it would grind in any gear than go away for a second, I turned the car off and let it sit and it would not do it again when I turned the key to on, but after two min it would do it again... If you need more info just let me know.... Thanks for any help guys

 

Anyone have any idea?

 

Where is the noise coming from?

 

Turn the car on with the hood open and try to find out where the noise is coming from. Check the bolts on the alternator. The nut on my alternator bracket stripped off so every time I turned the car on it, it would screech for a few seconds then go away. I pulled the alt belt off and the noise was gone.

 

Does the sound go away with the clutch pedal pushed down?
