Well I really don't know where to start, or if anyone out there can really help me with my engine noise problem. I've been to three mechanics spent about 300.00 dollars and so far the noise has gotten louder. At first it was diagnosed that I needed to replace the spring tenioner...did that, still noise...then they said the alternator needed to be looked at (as thats when it makes the most noise when there is strain put on the alternator by turning the wheels or turning on the AC) not the alternator...ahh then it must be the torque convertor. Took it the the transmission guy, he says no problems there...ok take it back the mechanics and he says well lets bench test the altenator....nope seems fine there. Now the engine only makes noise if there is no strain being put on the altenator, but it quiets right up when I rev the rpms over a 1000... does any have any thoughts about what the noise might be please reply.
