That’s what I figured, I just wanted confirmation. So I shouldn’t worry about the noise? I don’t like that, as when I first bought the car, it hasn’t made that noise up until around a couple months ago, and I’ve had it for 3 years.

The only suspicious things I notice on idle is my rps will jump when I turn the wheel, and when my fan tries to kick on (it doesn’t work mind you) my rpms also jump, and on a warm day (70 degrees +) it would cause it to overheat rather quickly.

The car was of operating temperature, if that’s what you mean by hot, and it is normal? I mean I’ve been in a lot of cars, but I never heard that sound before, I’m not doubting your knowledge as I don’t have that much, I’m just concerned. I can hear it from inside my car.

So it start just fine in warmer conditions (40+ as mentioned) but doesn’t do a thing when you try to start it on colder conditions? Or is there more to it than that?

My car had a hesitation problem too, I would step on the gas, I would feel a brisk vibration, then it would pull, figured a performance issue, so I changed my spark plugs, never had them changed, bought the car at 150k, it’s now at 194, and the gap on those plugs were atleast 5x greater what they should be gapped at. For me, replacing them fixed the problem. There is also rebates on some spark plugs, ranging from 75 cents to I think 2$ per plug.
As far as cruise goes, with my car when I am cruising, and I hit a hill, my car slows down, but then it revs up to get the speed to go up the hill, maybe this is what you are experiencing?
I don’t know much about transmissions, are you trying to shift while on a hill? I believe it’s called torque lock, where it’s difficult to shift because of being on a steep hill..
Good luck!

I took it to a dealer to get it replaced, as I had 0 tools, so I’m not entirely sure, I got the old part back to compare personally, and it was the same part, I threw it away afterwards, it fixed what noise I was hearing at the time, but I can’t say for certain if it came with the bushing or not.. I’ll check into that.
I’ll look more into the ujoint, I just don’t really see that being the problem as when I turned the wheel back and forth, and side to side, the only noise I heard was it locking when you couldn’t turn it anymore. The vehicle was in the air when I took the videos, and I didn’t accelerate, just shifted.
