well everytime i come to a complete stop and then start to accelerate a strange popping noise comes from the left front of my car it almost sounds like pop cans crushing.It gets louder when i accelerate harder. and the other problem is when im at WOT between 4000 and 5800 RPM the parking brake light turns on on the dash. not the brake just the light.
Could these be related to each other, theres no performance diffrence when ether of them happen.

thanks in advance

Is it just one pop, or is there more pops as you roll? Is it somewhat rythmic or random?

Trish, does this should like what is happening in your GTP? (the popping sound I mean).

Also Trish, describe the problems with your car here and lets get some input before you send the car to Gary.

it sounds like soda cans crushing like if you crushed one by stepping on it. could it be the wheel hub or bearing?

I would think wheel bearing or CV joint.

CV joint would make a clunking sound when turning the wheel.

Lift the front end up off the ground and spin the wheels through listen for the bearings making noises.

we were all wrong. it was the engine supports, theones that you take off so you can rock the engine forward when you change spark plugs. im gonna get some new one tomaro from the Stealership or the polyurthane ones from 3800performance, it all depends on price. mine were shot. i couldent beleave how bad they were.
