PINESMOKER Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 That's right ladies and gentlemen. My car chirps like a bird when accelerating. It is quiet if you are cruising, but if you put your foot in it. It chirps and is not very responsive. It does accelerate but not what I feel the car should do. I have all new gaskets in the exhaust and no check engine lights. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gergeek Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 when you put strain on the motor it causes it to rotate. try tightening the pullies, there is a tensioner for the ac that can be tightened, make sure you loosen the locking nuts or you will shear the holder of the tensioner bolt.

PINESMOKER Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I check that originally. But the sound is in behind me when I drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmattyxcore Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I get a whistle like I have a turbo under the same circumstances that you get your "chirp". Mine is likely from a a vacuum leak but since you said your noise is from behind you I'm not sure. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Chirping? Check your bearings and hubs, abs rotors, the e brake shoes are spring actuated lots of mechanical parts down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snederhiser Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hello; Your chirping sounds to me like an obstruction in your exhaust. I replaced my rear muffler and runs great now! Check your cat, resonator, and muffler. Use a big shop vac and run the exhaust thru each component to check, Steven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
