Car Forum / Acura Cars / December 2005'91 Integra whines like a truck
Just started doing this. A whine that sounds like a truck transmission. It follows the speed of the engine. It sounds like it's coming from the right front engine area (as you face the engine compartment). I figured belt? water pump? 145K. Anybody have a clue who's had a similar problem? I did an exorcism last night, so the possesion freaks please stay away :-).... >Just started doing this. A whine that sounds like a truck transmission. >It follows the speed of the engine.

Did not know timing belts gave you a warning - good info. Had one to go on an 80 accord - on starting - no valve damage. > Did not know timing belts gave you a warning - good info.

I had the belt changed at 90K. I thought after 100K no more miantenance was needed...;-) I changed the brushes on the alt. in the summer. Wondered if it could be the alt? It wuz the AC idler pulley $43 part, $109 work... > It wuz the AC idler pulley $43 part, $109 work... Thanks for the feedback! Mike
