crazy squeak. please help driving me insane

XXGREGXX · August 21st, 2011, 07:35 PM

Alright I already took off my belt and inspected it, all good. Spun all my pulleys and they're fine. Started it for a few seconds without the belt and it still squeaked. Wtf is wrong with my car now? There's a video but I can't figure out how to put it on here cause I'm on my phone since my computer broke. All I can tell you is look up "iamtheultimate" and its in my uploads about 2003 mustang engine squeak. If someone can put it on here that'd be much appreciated

Thanks for the help.
Greg.

dgt_mustang · August 21st, 2011, 08:55 PM

it seriously sounds like something is on the belt somewhere and it makes the noise as its going past or around a certain pulley. the time between squeeks is practically the same not constant.

XXGREGXX · August 21st, 2011, 08:59 PM

Its an auto. And it squeaked even with the belt completly off

Mr. Red Pony · August 21st, 2011, 09:01 PM

Is the noise consistent with Engine speed/temp or car speed?

XXGREGXX · August 21st, 2011, 09:11 PM

It gets faster with rpm. Engine temp doesn't matter it picks and chooses when it does it. It comes and goes but is getting worse. I've heard it driving down the road a couple times.

Sounds like an internal engine issue. What is your mileage and mod list?

XXGREGXX · August 21st, 2011, 09:21 PM

Ugh I hope not.. or idk what ima do. I'm already in debt and can't afford another. Lol

Zero mods and 129k

CheyenneMustang · August 21st, 2011, 09:39 PM

My car is doing almost the same thing. I was told it was my idle pulley bearings going out.

XXGREGXX · August 21st, 2011, 09:43 PM

Don't think it could be any pulley. It did it without the belt on lol. At least that is a cheap fix

Mr. Red Pony · August 21st, 2011, 11:07 PM

It is not belt/pulley related. Get a stethoscope and prod around the engine and try to pinpoint the general area.

Tang Stang · August 22nd, 2011, 03:16 PM

I can't view the video here at work, but from your description, I'm betting the cam sensor stalk is the source of your squeak.

XXGREGXX · August 22nd, 2011, 04:58 PM

Is that hard to replace? I'm general with a wrench. How much est?

MustangV6Man? · August 22nd, 2011, 10:52 PM

Timing chain?

It takes all of ten minutes to replace it.

I've never heard a timing chain squeak.

XXGREGXX · August 23rd, 2011, 05:31 PM

I tried googling how to replace it but nothing is coming up for me. Someone help me out w sensor shaft? It sounds easy and id do it if it makes the stupid squeak lol. Idk where it even is

Loki · August 24th, 2011, 02:27 AM

It's right in the front center of your engine, you can't miss it. Look at your crank pully and let your eyes wander up & to the left a smidgen. You'll find it.

Tang Stang · August 24th, 2011, 08:40 AM

Well, when you buy a new cam sensor stalk, pick up a repair manual (Chilton's, Haynes, or whatever). It'll give you step by step instructions.

Loki · August 24th, 2011, 12:01 PM

^ The instructions in that thing SUCK if you don't have the tool!

If the part comes with the tool, then by all means, buy the manual. Actually, I'll just look at mine and type it up for you. It's not that long, if I remember right..
