Some troubleshooting questions
Ive noticed recently that when I first start my car, when it starts its almost like a bang when it turns over that almost feels like when you do a neutral drop. Then while the car is sitting at idle, there is this pulsating or surging feeling. The pulses are withen seconds apart and are both audible as well as you can feel them. When I am at a stoplight however this does not happen so it appears to be only when I am in park. I also noticed a sounds similiar to when your brakes wear everytime I first start moving. It only happens for like 2 seconds when the wheels first begin to turn and is not related to speed at all. Anyone have anything like these happen to them before and if so what could I try to resolve these issues.

Is this on the 2jz or 1uz? Also, the sound that you hear right when you take off is a squealing like bad brakes, correct? This happens whenever you step on the gas after letting off of it, or ??

Im sorry 2jz...97 to be exact with around 105k. The sound is something like a squeling or almost like a whipering or hissing and its when I am giving it gas but like I said it goes away within a few seconds even while I am still giving it gas.

Well I took it in yesterday to be looked at and I have no exhaust leaks or anything loose in the exhuast that would be making this noise. It really sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car and the sound really sounds like a dry part turning. Like maybe there is something back there that should have a fair amount of oil or something on it and it no longer has it.
