I've had alot of repairs to my 2000 GTS. After Belt tension fix and Check engine/chip and enjectors fix, now I have Gurgle sound when pressing gas/idles. I cant put my ear on where its coming from but Gurgles are not a good sound. You can only hear it from interior. She Stops making sounds after driving a few minutes non highway. Any Ideas on Cause?

check your coolant reserve tank.. that gurgle is usually testament to a low coolant level.

Has to be Pink. Pep boys didnt have it in stock, nor did my main Mech. I went to Dealer Parts Dept. Use a pen on the tabs to remove plate to access res tank.

well went to kragen and piked up some prestone pink coolant. The instruction on the inside of the hood looked a tad complicated. So i just filled up my coolant tank and now the gurgling noise is gone. :)

I had the same problem a while back.... turned out to be air in the air conditioner line. Just get the dealer to bleed the line to see if it goes away.
