How tight is your belt? Could still be slip but with a loose tensioner.

edit: I forgot how slow the cars are stock lol

lol it doesn't even feel like my car, the only pull i have ANYMORE is between 3-4grand. but ya guess it would be time to pull the s/c. any write ups on how to inspect them?

hmmmm maybe needle bearings in snout?

So after reading several other posts I decided to change the plugs and wires. I only did the front 3 but the chirping is gone and the power is back!

really? thats what it was?

Your car must have just been misfiring, and I wouldn't really think of that sound as a chirp.

but people didn't think my car was "chirping" either. its a very vague word i guess. but theres no way. well.... whats it cost for 6 plugs right

BUMP! I found a small airleak around this rod on the s/c but have no idea what it is!

so am i screwed and should i go through with changing the s/c?
(this is not my s/c just one i stole off google for demonstration purposes)

that is the shaft for the BBV.

i don't think it explains all my symptoms tho. the powerloss is ridiculous in the car right now. and the "clatter" is starting at 4000 instead of 5000...
