FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
1. FUEL LEAKS FROM INJECTOR ONTO ENGINE (FIRE HAZARD) 2. IGNITION SWITCH CRANKS ENGINE WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY TO THE START POSITION. 3. LOUD SCREECHING NOISE COMES FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE IN PARK AND NEUTRAL, THIS IS THE SAME NOISE THE CAR MAKES WHEN CRANKING THE ENGINE. SOUNDS AS IF THE STARTER IS HANGING ON SOMETHING (LIKE THE FLYWHEEL OR SOMETHING). I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT DO HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK
