Q: Car has hissing sound when initially accelerating
I have been searching a long time for a solution and hope that you can help me. There is a hissing sound whenever I accelerate. The hissing occurs only in the initial phase of the acceleration. I can not detect from where it is originating. The volume also changes and sometimes it is louder than other times. Another item of concern is that sometimes my car feels sluggish, but other times it feels light and powerful. Do you know what is causing this hissing and the sluggishness?
