Intermittment whining sound
Chevy 2000 Impala -- whining sound comes on sommetimes, not all the time. Slight hard shift when it occurs. Sounds like the sound airplane flaps make when airbrakes are extended. Can drive 1000 miles nd not hear it. The, can drive 20 miles and it comes on. Dealer can't diagnose -- has heard the sound. But says just to keep following it. Any thoughts?

A friend says Cadilacs do this. He says its probably a loose bearing on one of the components connected to the serpintine belt. The sound comes from the front of the car. FYI -- my dealer is very honest. I am in a small town in Iowa (pop 5000). He has never charged me to diagnose this probelm yet nor tried to sell me anyting (like a new trans). So I trust him. It's just intermittent -- hard to pinpoint. |

Re: Intermittment whining sound
the whine is from your fuel pump.
It cost us $700 to get a new fuel pump, and pressure regulator (It was under warrenty) and it quit making the sound, then it started a month later. if you take the small vacuum line (top right of the pcv valve) the sound will quit. |

it is the fuel pump. If you take the vacuum line for the fuel off, the whining sound will quit. you hear the sound at the bottom right because that is where the fuel lines are, go back by the gas tank, and you will hear it worse. |
