Im hearing this cricket-type noise whenever the car is running, not sure what it could be?
Post if u got any thoughts


Thanx HT

 

perhaps there is a cricket in your car? lol, jk. i'd say it's the alternator belt. replace if worn/cracked. or just use some belt conditioner if you're lazy!

 

do you have a mini breather filter on your valve cover vent?

 

No

 

wheres it comin from? the engine? poss. a heat sheild on the exhaust?

 

Yea its from the engine sounded like it was coming from around the pulley area when i checked it.

 

it could also be your throwout bearing in your trannsmission that is if ti a manual

 

im pretty sure its not that cause it made that sound b/f and it was different

 

only while idle? does the pitch change or does the sound go away once engine is reved? does it matter if the engine is cold or hot?

Possible issues could be the AC, Alternator, PS pump, or even the timing belt tensioner.

 

prof007 is rite most of the time its a alt belt, but just eleviate aggravation change out all the belts cept for timing cause it involves a little work unless it needs one that is

 

Yea its only when idle and the pitch doesn't change at all. Makes the sound no matter what the engine temp is. Mayb it is the alt belt. I wanna c what is b/f i go boost this wkend.

 

checked it and the belt looks fine shows no signs of wear

 

shoot im having the same problem for about a year.
I just deal with the ekk noise.

 

check your heatshields i get that sound but when im moving

 

i fix my problem,my a/c belt was too tight

 

crickets in your engine, lol that was a good one lol
