Why the Noises Disappear after the Warm-up (norm temp)?

[mmdir2005]

89 Civic automatic with 220,000 miles on it. I usually drive this car before the warmed engine. I don't like to sit there and wait for the engine to get warm. I don't mean I don't idle at all. I do idle about 3 or 4 mins. I have some noises issue under driving with not-warmed engine such squeak when I hit the break and some kind of whistling or whirring sound I don't know exactly where it comes from, but once the car reaches normal temp, these noises disappear. Also the car seems to run a bit of overloaded on driving with not-warmed engine . Once the engines gets norm temp, the overloaded feel gets disapper.

My guess on these noises.
Squeaking break = Master Cylinder is not fully operated under not-warmed engine Whistle or Whirring = I don't no idea.

WAY too long. 30 seconds at most.

**BRAKE** squeak and other noises can be rust, dust, aftermarket pads, or poor istallation.

Your car is OLD. Old cars develop lots of noises from pure age. All the sound-deadening the factory installed is old and dried out, if it hasn't fallen off entirely. Parts work loose, buzz, rattle, hum and squeak. Seats come loose, gaskets loosen and harden.

Noise in a 17 year-old car is usually NORMAL. Exceptions are noises that indicate mechanical problems, and those are best diagnosed by a competent mechanic.

You mean it appears to have no power? Go easy on it until the temperature gauge reaches full-hot: Accelerate gently, and keep the revs below 3,000.

You may just need a tune-up. At this age, neglect can cause all kinds of problems.

Too much idling is wasting gas, right.

I think it's rust and dust. So much dirt and grease around the left Break where the squeak is coming from...

How about 5 seconds of big noise as soon as I start drive in the morning? The noise is definitely has to do with Power Steering only during turning wheel. There is no noise if not turn the wheel. I think the power steering is not energized fully under cold engine temp.

No not about power. Yes that's what I thought. I don't go higher more than 2,500 when the temp is not reach normal.

Loads the oil with fuel, too.

Grease around the BRAKE? (It's not spelt "break") Are you sure the CV joint boot isn't split?

Power steering pumps get noisy with age. This may be normal too. So long as it doesn't leak or squeal constantly, and the belt is properly tensioned, forget about it.
