My 89 vg maxima is whining when it is either in prk or drive it only whines at like 2000 rpms above that it just gradually increases the sound.

Could it be the timing belt , or the alternator ?

Thanks in advanced for the help!

 

Does it whine all the time or just in park and drive? Can you tell which side the whine is originating from? Need more info !!

 

Seems like it is coming from the timing belt side of engine..........

It only whines when the engine is reved to 2000 or over, in all posible gears

Any ideas Guys

 

you worked on the stereo or any wires around there lately?

 

How do u do that?

Car Domain is DOWN!!

Both in drive and in park if the motor is speed up yo 2000 rpms it starts to make a whine sound (almost like a turbo charger winding up!)
(I am not trying to flatter myself, but that is what it sounds like)

Could it be my timing belt do they whine when they get older?

No have not messed with the stero I do have a amp but it is properly grounded........

Thanks for the suggestion

 

NoN ews Read u PM.

 

I did not get your PM you sent!

 

New try done. Send me tst msg... I'll try to reply. But snowing sleepin time here, soon...

 

So is it a "squealing" or a "whining" noise? If it's a whining noise then you might be low on power steering fluid. Check the fluid and let us know what happens.

 

more of a whine at low rpms and a squeal at higher rpms

I don't know what to suspect!

Any more help

 

Check your PS fluid level as someone already suggested.

 

It is full to the top !

 

does it whine with the stereo and amp off?

 

Yes that is when it is most noticible (If I get botherd by it I crank up the radio!)

 

CDomain has also been cranked up, now. Read the 'Favorite Links' -while tHere.

 

whining noise from the passenger side of the engine compartment is super-common on a vg. tons of threads have been made on this subject, tons of people have the same whine. check the search and you'll find them.

 

I don't have search fun. can someone please find it in the goodness of there hearts to search foe me! Please don't give me the pay 20.00 lecture!!

 

Okay, I guess it's your lucky day here pal:
