when I'm in drive, but stopped at a light, you can hear the engine, it's not a rumbling sound, you can just hear it kind of loud

it's an automatic, any ideas?
 
Sounds like a classic case of your engine's idle being to high. That's an easy fix in your own garage or a 3 minute fix at the local Goodyear. Just a few turns on a wrench and it'll idle while stopped more evenly.

Also, check your air filter. It could be ready to be replaced. Another thing to try is a couple fill-ups with the higher octane to clean things up.

Either way, it's usually one of the simpler things to fix when it comes to engines.....................

Sounds like blood in the radiator.
 
Thats your stomach. Stop and pick up a double chili cheese burger with extra onions and bacon. ;)
