My car makes bubbling noises when I shut it off... for the next 20 mins too. Kinda sounds like a snake crawling through your engine bay, but I think it's hella cool. Not sure about bubbling noises when idle though, doesn't sound too serious.

certainly it isn't hydrolocked or there'd be no "gurgling", there'd just be nothing.

The gurgling could be bad gas? as in bad gas? sry, i'm not more help.

My cavlier (beater) does the same thing. Everythign seems fine under the hood. I fear it may be a head gasket leaking "compression" into my cooling system. But it's rare and there's no certain time it seems to do it. (hot, cold, turning, etc.) And none of my fluids are missing or an odd color.

So i think it's nothing to be worried about.

Sounds like air in the cooling system, check to se if thats it, next time before you start your car take off the raid.cap start the car and let the thermostat warm up then top off
with antifreeze and put the cap back on ,if thats not it then your heater core may be clogged if thats the case reverse fulsh it. All I can think of without hearing it for myself. GL
