high pitched whining noise from engine
hello everyone
i need some help
my 02 max is making some weird high pitched from the engine everytime i accelerate
it sort of sounds like a turbo spooling,
it only happens when i accelerate, as soon as my foot is off the gas, the noise disappears
any ideas?
thanks in advance

does it happen in a certain RPM range? Could possibly be your timing chain hitting the cover... I get a strange noise, kinda like a metal rattle noise when accelerating but also disappears once I let off the gas... mine began after a horrible experience at Jiffy Lube and took months of "we cannot duplicate the problem" responses from the dealer... finally took it to an infinity dealer and after an oil consumption test I found out it is my tensioner which needs oil pressure to work properly and keep the chain tight... apparently its a common issue in the 3.5L's in both the max and the infinity.... good luck.. it's annoying!

I'm not that knowledgeable of the "mechanics" of my car so I'm not going to event attempt at getting into detail... I know if involved taking alot of things apart because they were trying to avoid it for a while... in the end they had to replace the tensioner (it was bent)... i'm sorry i cannot tell you how much it cost because the owners of the infinity dealer are family friends and refused to let me pay for it. But since then, no issues.

4 some reson mines did it when i put my intake on.....i later found out that the clamp holding the filter came loose and it was squeezing air through the tiny gap that was between the pipe and filter...

as someone already mentioned it could be your alternatoer three weeks ago my i30 made a high whining noise when i accelerate and and few hours later my car just stopped in the modile of the road because the battery died and i had to get a new alternator.
p.s. my car made a loud high pitch noise when start it cold and after new alternator it dusnt

nope... unfortunately the real cause was a Jiffy Lube "oil change" that apparently never happened, because when i went back to the dealer after supposed oil change ... there was virtually no oil in it and still had a Nissan oil filter in there! first and last time i ever took the max there!

anyone with this same sound also have issues with power lost in there 3.0s?? i'm looking at a 2000 SE, possibly picking it up this week and i hear this same noise, and it seems like the engine is lazy. my gsr that was stolen two months ago felt quicker than this by a long shot and i thought the maximas were suppose to be on the same 'playing field', if you will with the DC2s..
anyone care to impart some knowledge?
