What kind of sound is it?? Can't you describe it more clearly??
My '92 400SE makes sound before crank, too. Sounded like electronic stuffs powered up and fuel pump...etc. prepare to operate. I have thought it's normal, since it has that sound the first day I got my car(bought new). Andy Kuo '92 400SE 71,118 KM |

Yup, it sounds like a pump or something electrical. Still dunno what the sound is though. I figure its a pump of some sorts to squirt oil onto the top of the engine???
I usually turn the key, hear the noise and start the car when the noise stops. |

My guess is that it is the electric fuel pump pressurizing the system. When the system is pressurized it shuts off, which would be only 1-2 seconds as the engine is not using any gas. Once the car starts to crank, the pump would switch on again.
Just my guess ------------------ Chris Ecklund 98 300 DT |

Yes it is the electric fuel pump(s) pressurizing the system.
