It is now mate. It started about 3 days ago, I was sitting in the car waiting to pick my little boy up and the car just started to idle funny as if it wanted to cut out and the engine light came on for about 15 seconds or so then went out and the car picked up again and I started hearing this noise.

The check engine light flashes on the dash long flash means ten and short flash means 1 eg two long flashes and one short would be 21 check it out and come back if it has any and I'm sure someone If not me will tell you what the associated code represents
