There is a slight whine coming from the engine, and i'm not sure what it is. Its loud enough to hear from inside of the car, and it sounds like something electrical?? The only sound i can compare it to, is an aftermarket big fuel pump. Do you guys have any idea?? I have no ac belt, or powersteering belt on at this time, could this have caused any problems?

 

Did you recently install a super charger? J/K heh. Maybe you could take a look under the valve cover and check to see if the timing belt is rubbing anywhere. Is it time for a timing belt change? Just a thought. Good luck though

 

Its definately not a belt whine, it sounds electrical... I'm not too sure what it could be, but it definately sounds like a have a hi-flo fuel pump.

 

Do you have an aftermarket head unit??? or any kind of a system???

if you do, and you didnt ground the wire properly then that can sometimes cause a whining sound.

(dont qoute me on that, thats just what i have heard)

 

I would just enjoy it I love that sound :D

alternator whining perhaps?

 

my guess would be the abs unit warming up

 

Do you see smoke? Do you smell anything burning?

:fire:

 

No, i didn't see any smoke, and the car had been running for a while. I just pulled in, and a funny thing happened, i THINK i remember rolling the window down to hear it, then when i rolled it up, the sound got louder....?? Beats me.

 

Like a previous post asked...did you install a new stereo system...or add/tune a amp? If so, that coud be the engine wine your hearing. Does it increase in volume and pitch when you accelerate?

 

No, it doesn't increase in volume when i drive, and the speaker system is stock. Tonite, i heard the whine again, so i turned off the headlights-- and it stopped... This is starting annoy me!

 

hey man i know exactly wat is it....i jus barely fix mine....its like this..the more power u use on ur car the more the sound start until u rev it above 3000rpm itll stop..like turning the heater on or turning on the headlight anything like that...the noice will starting making that annoying sound....well..i dont know about urs but...mine was my altanator...one of my screw fall off...it was a screw that hold my altanator and my altantor was lose...the screw was about 5 inches long....i replace the screw and the noice stop....if i were u check ur altantor man....its either out or rust or missing screws....hope that help...
