When I try to start my Celica after it's been sitting for about 10 hours, I get an odd noise that
almost sounds like an idling weed eater from what I'm assuming is my rack and pinion because it only happens when I turn the wheel. Any ideas on what this could be?

Could also be that your power steering belt needs replacing, and it makes the noise until the belt warms up.

I think you're right. It takes a minute or so, but the sound goes away.
