When starting a cold engine that has been sitting overnight, a grinding noise will occur and then the engine starts. This noise does not happen when the engine is warmed, shut off and then restarted a few minutes later. This only happens when the vehicle has sat for several hours. The vehicle is a 2007 toyota camry with 10,000 miles.

This grinding noise is it coming from the starter or somewhere else-if its from the starter could be that the starter is too far from the flexplate-try torquing the starter bolt and see what happens- if its some where else you need to pinpoint it and get asap
