350 squeele

i noticed my skylark has a squeel.. it iss kind off off and on.. it goes as u rev the engine a little.. and it is off and on at idle.. would this be water pump or power steering?

 

Replace and/or check all your belts to make sure they're tight enough.

Sometimes if coolant leaks on the belts (like from the thermostat housing) it will cause the belts to slip and squeel.

 

great. thanks

 

Patrick-

Does it sound like a whistle sound?

 

its a high pitched squeele.. y?

 

i have the same problem......i havent figure a fix yet.
How about you? have you tried any stuff?

 

sry know i havent tried anything.. its cold where i live and i dont have a heated garage so i am going to wait tell it gets a little warmer out to do anything. let me know if u find a good fix. thanks

 

Try tightening the belts before you start replacing things.

 

squeal

could also be a bad bearing in the alternator .
