Chevrolet - 1500 :: Loud Whining / Spinning Noise On Startup - High Idle
My question is what could cause a high idle?I have a 95 Chevy pickup 4x4 with a 5.7... Recently the lower radiator hose fell came off the radiator, dumping the liquids all over the street. The motor shut down, and every time we went to start it there would be a loud whining/spinning noise. We thought that the motor seized, so we pulled the plugs, turned the motor by the crank bolt.Turned out that the starter went bad, the spindle and bendex werent catching on the flywheel.
After examining the flywheel teeth, and gapping the plugs to the recommended manufacture gap, (they werent when we pulled them), we got a new starter installed. It started right up! But it ran at a high idle, around 1500-2000 RPM. I did not have a chance to really let it warm up (it was cold and raining). Now there is a gray flexhose that is running from the air filter housing down to the exhaust manifold. If i remember correctly, it was not seated very well when I took it off. Could it be causing too much of a vacuum?
Jeep - Cherokee :: Loud Whining Noise On Startup / Heat Shuts Off Every Now And Then
My '03 Jeep Grand Cherokee seems to be having an array of problems lately, I think they might be related. Almost 100,000 and its falling apart on me. When I start it up on cold mornings it has a loud whining noise. The check gauges light comes on and shows the oil temp as being cold. After leaving it idle for a bit, I will go to drive it and the heater will shut itself off. Later in the day after the first cold start, the loud whining and check gauges light don't happen again. But the heat shuts off every now and then. Is it all related?

Yesterday as soon as I started my car, I noticed a high pitched whining noise. As I drove, it seemed to stop, but as I slowed down and idled, it came back. After driving a couple miles, the battery light came on, so I turned off the AC, radio, and lights and it went off again, but as I sat at stop lights it would flicker on and off again.
View 4 RepliesCamry :: Loud Constant Thump Noise At Idle
2007 Camry LE 4cyl 125XXX miles ... The car sounds horrible at idle, but its not rough/shaky, just loud with a constant "thump, thump, thump" sound. It also whines with RPM increases, not just acceleration, but also while in park or neutral. Took it to Auto Zone and it tested with a bad voltage regulator in the alternator. In the process of calling around to different shops, they all seem puzzled that the alternator is bad, even though I replaced the battery 10 days ago and the battery light still flashes off/on while driving. So, before I go sinking a few hundred bucks into a new alternator, should I be looking at something else?

So as i pull into the laser wash today i realize that my coolant is running extremely hot. So when i pop the hood and find that there is no coolant and the globe. So I release the cap until it started steaming and bubbling up. With all the excitement i got a tad emotional and punched a hole in a wall inside the car wash (painful) Upon a second look i realized that a problem i have had before had been keeping my radiator fan from running
I am also dealing with a problem involving the climate control draining power. If the AC or heat is on the car's idle bounces around and causes a loud whining sound. Also, the radiator fan does not seem to want to stay on for more than a second. I have been discussing this problem on a different thread
Camry :: 1999 Loud Whining Sound And Won't Start When Parked On A Slanted Driveway

View 2 RepliesTouareg :: Loud Whining Noise From Right Side Wheels?
While I was driving today, I noticed a "whining" noise that sounded like a belt squealing that got louder as I increased speed. I pulled over to check the see if it was in fact a belt, and when the engine was revved in park, I heard nothing. As soon as I started to move, the noise started, then increased in volume.
I assume that this is some sort of wheel related problem.The sound seems to be coming from the right rear wheel. I just got back from the dealer. The tech said that the main bearing in the drive shaft is bad. They have to replace the whole drive shaft to fix the problem. I am glad that it didn't completely fail while on the interstate, I bet it would have done some damage.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 - Second Gear Has Loud Whining Noise
I have a new GTI which is awesome, but second gear has a very loud whining noise. Very easy to reproduce: in second gear rev it up to 3000 rpm and let go of the gas. This happens only in second gear. Under a moderate acceleration or while engine braking. Should I be worried, should i have it checked? Is this normal? It is a 6 speed manual gear box.

View 7 RepliesVolkswagen - Beetle :: 2001 - Loud Whining Noise Along With Some Buzzing Whenever Driving
My 2001 VW New Beetle has started making a loud, whining noise coming from outside the car along w/ some buzzing whenever I am driving. I find that I have to change gears about 10 miles sooner than I should in order to stop the noise. But now it's happening in 5th gear occasionally too, and of course I can't go to a higher gear to make it shut up. What could this mean?
View 3 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Apparent Loud Whining Noise Coming From Tranny Area
This time it's about my tranny. After putting on 034 motorsport track density mounts, this whining noise started coming apparent and it's pretty loud and it's coming from the tranny area. Not sure of the fact that the mounts are so stiff has anything to do with it, but here goes...
It's like a slight grinding/mechanical whine noise that happens only when in gear and under load. It gets louder as the speed/rpm's get higher and happens in every gear. Funny, but sounds like a mechanical supercharger whine that you'd get from a supercharged car. When the car is idling, there is nothing wrong/no noise.
Clutch is not slipping, power feels just like it did before, my clutch pedal doesn't get stuck nor is it hard to push down.
A few initial diagnoses from friends were that there is some sort of shaft play in the tranny or that it may very well be a synchro.
Honda - Odyssey :: Loud Whining Noise When Steer In Cold Weather
I have been having problems with a loud whining noise when I steer in cold weather (approx 35 degrees F) and only after the car has warmed up. Now, before everyone tells me about the Honda Service bulletin addressing this problem, I will tell you I had the Power Steering reservoir replaced at 65K miles, per the service bulletin. However, the problem came BACK after another 35K on the van. The dealership then replaced the inlet pipe O-ring on the power steering pump which ended up NOT fixing the problem. So I still have a fairly new power steering reservoir, a new O-ring AND the loud whine. Am I doomed to replace this every 35K miles or is there some other problem that is buried deeper than the PS reservoir? (And the loud whine you hear really is coming from the van....but soon I might be joining it.)

Started the car the other day and a loud whining noise followed by the car "jumping" when I stepped on the gas. It would go/stop for a second, then shut down. Mechanic who is not a Prius expert said it was the tranny. He could put in a used one (77k miles). Car has 250k miles on it. Is it worth it? Or should I just part it out. I'm worried about things like the battery going next.
View 8 RepliesLexus :: Loud Whirring / Humming / Whining Noise Coming From Engine
I have a 2006 lexus es 330 that just turned over 90,000 miles. My dad and I have done the regular maintenance on it so far but this weekend after a 3 hour drive, I turned the car back on and a loud whirring/humming/whining noise was coming from the engine. It gets slightly louder with acceleration, but I can barely hear it once I've picked up speed (but it's still there.) It still happens when I am in neutral. It sounds like it is coming from the passenger side of the engine. Close to the power steering pump area, but the power steering fluid is full (although it is a very dark/black color and has a slight smell...not sure if this is normal.) I'm not having any trouble or hesitation while steering. The rack is operating smoothly and it is not leaking. I plan on taking it into the shop but wanted to go in educated.

Occasionally, when I start my 07 I hear a loud zip noise that seems to be coming from the front of the car somewhere. I know it's kinda tough to pinpoint. Something running against the teeth of plastic gears comes to mind.
I should also mention that it happens immediately after the engine has started, about the same time the self leveling headlights start to move.
Prius (2001-03) :: Loud Noise At Startup That Disappears
I have a 2002 Prius that is running fine except for a loud noise when I started it up---like the one the exha fan in my bathroom makes, but the car runs well and there are no lights or any other indicator that anything is wrong. I am taking it to a local mechanic today, since I don't trust my local dealer. My car has about 95, 000 miles on it.
