Whirring?
I wrote a thread previously about a whirring that i hear when I hit the gas... Its back again. i have no idea what this can be... I have checked for loose hoses and things of that nature and no luck. People said exhuast studs. But i dont think that that is it being that this is a new engine does anyone have an idea what this could be? It happens when i hit the gas at a light or in traffic off a stop. It will start when i let off the gas and press again it doesnt make the sound anmore. this was not happeneing before in the summer. Someone

It was cleaned and whatever needed minor things was also done. I think that i also got power driving replaced during summer when engine was put in...Cant remember ill check paperwork. Also so the wheel Bearing can cause this? No work was done to steering anything. i would like to check it out if possible.

also i wouldn't consider the tranny as being new because it's a rebuilt.
when you say NEW it throws me off on what might be wrong.
wouldn't hurt to check steering...if you want remove the PS belt and drive a little (i stress a little) and see if you hear it..but i some how doubt it's the steering because you only hear the noise when you hit the gas. if it's the PS pump then you'll hear it all the time or when you turn the wheel...doesn't matter when you hit the gas. also check if they replaced the belt tensioners when the motor was swapped out.
Sorry,just woke up didn't fully read the post...
