Before i waste money at the shop. anyone wanna put in thier 2 cents. I makes it when the car sits or when it drives( I think(kinda hard when your driving to know what noise your cars making outside).

Default RE: well

usually a gargling noise is cause by the car overheated and the radiator trying to suck coolant out of the overflow tank. Check your coolant level and make sure its topped off and if it already is then you might have a bad thermostat. However, if it is a bad thermostat you would notice your water temp gauge getting up to the H (especially while sitting still). It could also be a bad radiator cap (yes they do go bad!! we replace them all the time on cars at my work and I just had to replace one on my mothers car) but it is most likely a coolant problem as xeno stated.
