94 T-Bird 4.6 Noise.

It`s a sweaking sound as the motor is running. Maybe a belt tinioner ? It seems to be getting loader. Anyone have any ideas on what it is and how much to fix ?

112,000 miles on it.

sweaking?

Squeaking?

loader?

Louder! :-)

If it's actually a hi-pitched whine, maybe more pronounced when motor is cold, it could be belt tensioner pulley and/or idler arm pulley or conceivably an alternator bearing.

If not, take a deep breath and try for a better description of the problem. And type slower.

Some to older 4.6 had a problem with the chain slider type tensioners, yours indeed may be one.
