I've done casual driving and freeway driving. the problem is that I have a squeal/screech coming from the front of the motor. I know it's not any of the pulleys or the belt because I took the belt off the car and cranked it and the screech/squeal was still there. I took it by to see my friend at a small shop, and he wasn't sure either. he said that I'd start small working your way by process of elimination. he thinks it my be my timing chain rubbing on the housing or something maby with the cam rubbing on something... hard to really say without hearing the noise but, where do I start by trying to figure out the noise. I almost couldnt believe it when he said the noise was coming from the motor, the car sits more then it's driven and I work on it more then i drive it. Any input would help is much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>quicksilver91</b> <br /><small>Member # 9034</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,6,19,17,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The noise doesnt happen all the time between 1,500 and 2,500 rpms, and at idle sometimes. and after it warms up is when the noise statrts. the car drives fine has all it's power but the noise doesn't sound good.<br /> <br /> <small>[ July 19, 2011, 05:25 PM: Message edited by: quicksilver91 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>trickflow211</b> <br /><small>Member # 8503</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,6,19,20,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> My car was making same squeal noise but only when ac was on , so I was guessing it was the ac pulley or bearing ??but I noticedloss off power when ac was on ...also if I left ac on when I turned car back on , I couldn't even turn the wheel like I had no power steering ...
