adamzan Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) 3.3L r50, starting making this noise a little while ago. I think it might be the distributor bearings but I'm not sure. It's the metal grinding kinda noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7qo9NcfGgo TIA Edited March 19, 2011 by adamzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Sounds like the distributor gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddfildvaynes Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I had that same noise a little back, it was the pulley on my A/C compressor, I ended up changing the compressor and it stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marooncobra Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Get yourself an Engineers stethoscope and use the metal probe to touch the compressor, distributor, engine parts. You should be able to locate the noise from where it is coming from this way. The other good thing about an Engineers stethoscope is that you can remove the probe which allows an opening. You can then use this to identify any leaks from hoses by listening to the increased air velocity. A must for all toolboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
