Re: High Pitch Whine or Squeal at Start-Up

Are you hearing an air whistle? Does that noise change or disappear if you increase the rpms slightly?

Re: Hood Stuck Driver's Side

My wire cables go around the latches and just lay over the rubber boot below the hood and lay in front of the wipers. No drilling or any fanciness to this. Easy to reach and not seen from outside if...

Re: Parting out 90 #226 Drivetrain for sale and everything else available via request

I already had all 4 amps and the CDM repaired. A CD and cassette sound great in my stereo but the radio itself has poor reception and static. The antenna connections have been taken apart and cleaned...

Taking the interior apart? Have a working radio? Mine's good, CD and cassette work well - both repaired -but radio has static and it's not the antenna or connection. Thought maybe I'd just replace it...

Re: Hood Stuck Driver's Side

One of the first mods I did to my car was to run cables that lay underneath the hood, around the hood latches, easily accessible if one side or both don't release. Just reach in, grab the cable and...

Re: ZR-1 Oil Change

You guys are inventing and trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Re: Any one keeping details on average mile on 90's

My '90, # 545, has a little over 35,000 miles, 3000 put on by me. Runs like a bandit, perfect.

Scammers wouldn't exist without gullible buyers on the other end. And like they always say, "if it sounds too good to be true..."

Re: ZR1 Detectives

If you still have the copies of those ads or a record of the sites that listed that car, I would report it to the internet fraud division of the FBI and they will track that down real quick. I ran...

Re: 1990 AC question

If the Freon level is that low that the compressor will not engage, you have to bypass or short the low pressure switch to turn on the compressor to get Freon into the system. You will not be able to...

Re: New engine whistle/whine

I remembered that after I made the post above and will do that later today when it warms up a little so I can go out. Could be that the squeal on start up is just related to the cold belt. I never...

Re: New engine whistle/whine

Can't hear anything with a stethoscope 'cause everything is rotating and you can't get on it to locate a noise.
I have now a 1/2" breaker bar that should fit the tensioner, I think I was using a...

Re: New engine whistle/whine

I'll have to make up a mechanic's stethoscope and try and track down the source of the whistle. It's very faint now only at idle and rapidly drops in pitch as it fades as I turn the engine off. Right...

Re: New engine whistle/whine

This morning that whistle is only heard at dead slow idle, as soon as you rev up the engine even slightly it disappears. So I think it's related to the belt, maybe exacerbated because of the cooler...

New engine whistle/whine

I changed my oil/filter today and then ran the engine to circulate it around before checking the level again, and heard this high pitched whistle/whine when the hood was open. Don't really hear it...
