Thread: WHats that sound???

I didnt get a chance today to play with it and see what i think it is But sounds like a pulley or waterpump going out could also just be cause it was cold
It wasnt making the noise when i drove her home after the build or the day before this was new to this start up

I also know i have an exhaust leak and its throwing a cam position code so isnt running that great

yea I saw that in the vid too it had been raining pretty good

Sounds like a pulley. Notice the intermittent squeeling and the correlation with revs. Take off your S/C belt and run the car (its ok to) and see if you can narrow it down that way. Most likely it's an idler pulley being a little stuck or the bearings are worn out.

id guess one of the many pulleys.

2 words man. Mechanics stethoscope. best "bang for the buck" tool you'll ever buy

from browsing around on grand prix sites, and my own personal experience, ive come to learn that winter takes its toll on tensioner pulleys

yea its a pulley shame i didnt grab a scope from school ohwell i have other things to worry about then the noise just messed with it for an hour no clue on the cam position problem

na made 50 bucks swapping out someone at schools pulley though so it paid for it self Wasnt ever worried bout selling it just got lil nervous about money lol

I agree with it possibly being a pulley due to the repetitiveness of the sound... however, my 1.9s would sound similar on the interstate before I removed them... I referred to it as "birds chirping"
