hello!

Yesterday i heard what i beleived to be either a belt or a pulley squeaking and didnt think to much of it, but today i now hear a grinding. i cant tell if it does it as im driving or not as im boosted and my exhaust if kinda loud cuz of no silencer. it grinds regardless of the clutch being in or out. so im trying maybe one of the pulleys are shot?

Remove each drive belt one at a time to see which component is associated with the noise.

thats what i was thinking of doing tomarrow! that way then id atleast know if its the pulley or not! does a worn pulley make a grinding sound? im sorry for being noobish ive just never heard a worn pulley, but there is deff a grinding sound!

The last time I heard a grinding sound in the engine compartment, it was a loose crank pulley. Good thing it was my son's Prizm.

haha, well i acculy listen again on my lunch break! and dont flame me, but it now sounds like its coming from fuel pump. Like its getting air so tomarrow ima pull it back out and double check everything and hopefully thats what it is
