A few weeks ago I noticed a somewhat loud whining sound coming from my engine. I hear the sound and then every 10 seconds or so I will hear a click and the whine will get softer, and then 10 seconds later it will click again and get louder. Anyone ever have any problem like this and know what it is/how to fix it? Thanks---

I would say it was your belts. Usually whining like you're describing is a worn belt. Then again it could be something else.

I was had whining sound coming from my car and it turned out to be a bad barring(sp?) on one of the pullies. first thing you should do it get a Stethiscope(sp?) like a Doctor uses but for cars and that will tell you where the sound is coming from. All you do it touch the part of the engine you think is making the sound and you will know right away if its it or not. If its clicking on and off I would say its your fan. Maybe time for a new one?White 98 Camaro with t-tops leather and Y87. For more info on mods just ask.<br />1/4=14.9<br />2002 Xterra V6 A4Comment

does this clicking thing happen when your ac is turned on?? if so it's proably the compressor clutch engaging and disengaging... if this happens ALL the time I'd get your ac checked.. when the compressor cycles every few seconds like that constantly it means the pressure is too low for the compressor to work proplerly so it cycles to keep from burning up..

I agree with black v6. Turn on your AC and see if it goes away. Mine does.1995 Firebird 3.8 A4, 140,000 miles and going strong<br />Basically Stock, college=poor <p>Junior Mechanical Engineering Student: Milwaukee School of Engineering; Cpl, MN Army National Guard...just got promoted :)Comment

check your alternator. Open up the hood with the car on and i'll bet anything it's coming from your alternator. I'm having the same problem, but in my case it's because the alternator is having to put out more power because my battery has a dead cell. (need to replace my battery :( )Comment

If you are hearing a loud click then it sounds to me like it is just the electric fans. I could be wrong though.<b>Matt</b><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=1\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro Z28 M6</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=377225&page=3\" target=\"_blank\">\'96 Camaro M5</a>Comment

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
