Whining noise...
I've been trying to figure out this whining noise I hear in my car. At 3200 rpm and sometimes at 2600 i hear a whining noise, it goes away when the car warms up, but while the motor is still cold I can hear it. Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas about it? I searched but couldn't find anything remotely close to this problem. [sm=headbang.gif]

RE: Whining noise...
Could be old bearings in one of your pulleys for your belts, and they just need to move and heat up a little to stfu. Could also be a worn power steering pump struggling to get fluid flow through it on a cold start up. Check fluid levels of course because another thing it could be is a starving water pump acting the same way as a struggling power steering pump on a cold start. Could be an overly tensioned belt that needs to heat up a little to expand to stfu too.
If all else fails, put the wife in the trunk and see what happens.

It did start once i replaced the timing belt/tensioners/belts and water pump, as long as it's nothing major, I'll just crank the stereo up...That should drown out the wife in the trunk too...
