Pathfinder-jay Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hey guys, my 91 pathy, 4 door xe, is making some weird noises. It whines as I go faster. I opened the hood and checked her out but didnt really notice anything, some noise coming from the enginer where the fan goes in....Seems to get worse as I accelerate...but yet theres no difference in driving performance...but im scared there might be in the future. Let me know if you can help me out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 did u try having the hood up and pull on the accelerator cable to get the rpms to rise so u maybe could see where its coming from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kremmen Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 It whines as I go faster. Sounds like my girlfriend as well! Front diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I have a 1994 SE, 5-speed and it is doing the same thing. I got under the hood to try and see where it is comming from and is somwhere in the front. I just changed all my belts and it made no difference. Like Pathfinder-Jay said, I have no idea if it is hurting my engine, all I know is that it is really embarrassing. Mine, I don't know about others, used to only do it when it was cold, as if it was some kind of choke. Now it does it almost everytime I drive it. At first I thought it was the choke or something to do with the engine not getting enough air, but i checked everything and everything seemed to be ok. Now, I am about to check the fan clutch, like my dad suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthy Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Try running it with the belt off ! whle you have it off give the alternator a spin and listen for a rumble and give the fan a rock up and down and a bit of a spin and listen for any noise Hey guys, my 91 pathy, 4 door xe, is making some weird noises. It whines as I go faster. you dont say if it is when the engine go's faster or if it's when the car go's faster if it's the car when moveing it clould be trans , transfer , or diff bearings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillj Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hey jay you said it whines more when you go faster If its a five speep it could be your throw-out bearing for the clutch try pressing the clutch while your driveing or parked see if it quites down if so thats more than likely what it is then its a 20 dollar part you have to pull the tranny to put in good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
