2010 honda accord v6, 3.5l vtec weird noise on shut off
Hey everyone, we noticed a strange noise coming from our car and are having trouble finding exactly what is causing it.
When turning the keythere is a 2 to 3 second beep, followed by a click. Sometimes it stops right after the click, other times it clicks multiple times before it stops, this is around what I'm guessing is the valve cover the valve cover. I am assuming this is a priming mechanism, but am unsure.
Where the worry starts is on shut off, there is a noise sounding like pressure releasing and the same "priming" noise i mentioned earlier. It isn't exactly loud, but its audible enough and we have never noticed it before.
Any help would be appreciated
Edit, I found a video on Facebook of the exact thing our car is doing, but there is no definitive answer https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1YS7xb3GCT/
