There is no specific word for a car engine's sound.

Someone might say their car, when the engine was operating smoothly, purred or was purring.


Or, when the driver accelerates without moving: He revvedhis engine.


When the engine makes abnormal sounds, the type of sound is described: the engine was ticking, knocking, sputtering, straining, etc.
