this is on a g2 integ. Anyone know what the cause of this problem is? Is it the rotor? Is it still safe to drive? thanx

 

Your distributor bearing in the subassembly is failing. You will need to replace your distributor subassembly, or it will eventually freeze and could cause some serious damage. Best of luck.

 

thanx for a reply dan...thanx

 

does it only do it when it warms up
does it do it when you shift
My 94 gs-r makes a noise when you shift and when you are in gear after is warms up. It sounds like a rasping or screech, it is hard to discribe
Thanks

wel....at first....jus outta nowhere today....it screeched really loud when it first started. Then afterwards..went away...forawhile. I thought it wuz my timing, so i checked my timing and moved the distributor around...and the noise is there now when its already warmed. But not as loud as it wuz the first time. the sound is always there, but sometimes loud and sometimes soft.

 

It's probably your distributor bearing. I've got one for sale, still in plastic bag and box. I bought it from A & H Motorsport for $80. It's yours for $50. Let me know if you're interested.

 

have you checked the distributor cap? i had one cap from the dealer that was cutting into the points making that sound. just thought id ask.

 

thanx fo da post yo.....im gonna go check it out to see how much is it to fix the bearing at a local auto electric shop. They charged me 30 bux to rebuild my starter...so im gonna check. tryin to get this done by friday. thanx u'll. peace
