When Starting car noise from right?

When ever i start my car about 1/2 of time... well more often or when its wet out... when I'm starting my car there is a grinding kind of noise coming from the driver side of the car near the fire wall.... does anyone know what it would be? i have an 84 GSL.....

That'd most likely be your Hot-Start assist. It blips the throttle on startup. Pop your hood and look at the driver's strut tower. There should be a motor with a cable that goes to the carb and throttle linkage.

sorry for the hijack, but is it a big deal if that cable is not hooked up?
