Get a noise that sounds like a "noisy vaccuum door closing" only on the 1st start of the day. The noise seems to be around the PCM but can not verify that for certain...any ideas

    Sounds like one of the vacuum door motors in the climate control system is closing when the vacuum is supplied from the engine. The system may have a small leak that is causing the door to open up when the engine is turned off.
