whining noise on alternator on b16
Sound sounds like its coming from alternator. Whenever the engine is revved up or idling, a certain whine is coming from the alternator. Friends b16 teg doesnt do this.
Anyone think my alternator is going up. Its a b16 in a 1991 crx hf.
Another problem I have, is that i get a check engine light when i flip the head lights on after a while of running.
any help appreciated thanks guys.

Re: whining noise on alternator on b16 (CR-X)
If it sounds like a shrieking bat (especially when you switch the car on) tighten the belt. (Use a Helm's manual for the torque specs)
If its kinda quiet, just kinduva humming noise...it might need to be lubed.
