Very often the noise one hears in the cabin is different when one is outside.

Hmm, yes probably a good idea too, try to nail down the exact source of the noise.
Thanks.

I would check the brake caliper slider pins.
... the center retainer bolt that holds the drive shaft in the wheel hub.
and the drum brake shoes, they can lose the shoe liners.

Thanks, I'll look into this.

No, actually hardly ever set the park brake....(should I?).
Live in the midwest so it's flat around here for miles!!

Thanks,

Thanks for any help!

OK, ended up taking it in to a mechanic and he replaced MAF and everything seems to be good now (also replaced fuel filter but he didn't think it was causing the problem).
I was surprised because I thought the car should run / start with the MAF disconnected (which I tried)?
Anyway, seems to be ...

My bolt holding on the fuel filter was rusted on solid...no way it would come off, so I'm off to the mechanic since I can't replace it myself if I can't get the bolt off unfortunately!!

I started the car, and it started up, and ...
