I have about 111,500 miles on my car, when I start the car cold...and start driving it (@ about 1,000 - 2,000 rpm), the car starts to make this gurgling noise...thought it was a loose spark plug...so i replaced it, all four w/ iridiums (i had to anyway), but the noise is still there
And it only happens between those rpms. What could it be?
Is it something internal? I've also had the timing belts replaced at about 50k miles.
thanks for the help,

Yes, gurgling

is it coming from the driver's side, around the belt area? maybe at those low speeds your power steering is doing something funny.
get someone to put the ebrake on and put the engine under load, while you stand directly in front.... wait, beside the engine and see what you can see.

Ya, it's like coming from that area...right now, I have unorthodox SS pulleys set. So i should jack the front end of the car up, pull up the ebrake, and put it in Drive and start revving?

well that's in the low rpm's. I meant with the car on the ground, too. get in a parking lot or something.

Ok, I ran that test (but it makes that sound even when it's not under load) and checked the coolant...the coolant was low so i refilled it...but the noise is there...but it sounds like it's coming from the block or head area...

If this is a H22, did you replace the auto-tensioner when you did the timing belt. Those tensioners are known for making all sorts of weird noises.

Alternator or AC compressor??

I think I replaced those with the timing belts at around 55k miles...do you think it's the water pump?

I'm having this same noise...
Any solution?
