Engine Squeaking Noise

[zrob1224]

I have a '00 V6 5-speed. The car seems to be running fine however there is this new squeaking noise coming from the engine.

It only seems to happen from 3,000-4,000 rpm. It happens during acceleration and if i take my foot off the gas. I am not sure what it is. It goes away when i shift and /or push the clutch in and the rpms drop. But it comes back as soon as it gets near 3000 rpm.

If anybody has any idea as to what this may be and how to fix it, please let me know.

Thanks,

Z

I had that problem last year and i wound up gettin my clutch replaced and its fine now. i feel like this is something different... but again i have no clue.

my squeaking sound sounds like that. but its only at 3,000-4,000 rpm. at idle its fine tho. the squeaking sound is similar.

Mines wierd cause it starts at idle n gets louder as i accelerate but after driving for 25-30mins it dies down, also there are days where i dont hear it at all then BOOM, its back again. Its driving me bananas. :smash:

You are not alone. It's the exact thing for me too, I even had the idle pulley and tension replaced and still got the noise.

supposedly my car has a recent trans and clutch replaced but i doubt it... synchros are screwed up already and isn't too smooth... probably neeed another set soon..

Throwout bearing going south perhaps? Im not familiar with newer standard trannys but my old ass Bronco is a stick and thats what I would look at given your description.

I probably should've noted that mine is auto unlike the other two with the problem.

Whoops... I assumed, I get into more trouble that way... Rob, describe what it is you are hearing. Is the sound coming from the engine or further back? If its in the engine area, check your pullys. I work on 4.6s all day and when one comes in squeeling, its usually the idler or tensioner pully.

All good man I shuda posted it initially... It's def coming from the engine cause it's the loudest wen standing in front of the car, esp with the hood up. I was figuring it was my belt or one of the pulleys but wasn't sure. I've also sat in both the front n back seat to check from the inside n in both spots the sound is coming from the front of the car.

Sounds like a pully to me. Take the belt off and run it to check for the noise. If no noise, its a pully. Idler typically goes bad first so start there. Check for resistance and noise.

Ite man thanks alot, I'm gonna test that out Tom to see... I'll keep u posted.

I will check it, but its gonna be sitting in the garage all weekend as i am going out of town. I was thinking it is one of the pulleys. the squeaking changes with how fast the engine is running but the sound only comes from about 3000 - 4000 rpm. who knows. its 11 years old with 120k mi on it. im just trying to make it last

I removed my belt and turned engine on and still squeaks.
