i put on a new water pump and noticed that my belt needed a little tlc so i replaced it with a new one. and every since then it whines when i give it gas. it doesn't do it idiling but if i give it gas at all it's got a whine/whistle to it and it drives me f-ing crazy

 

Awww man that shouldnt drive you up the wall. Everyone else might be thinking you did a little more upgrading and bolted up a supercharger. hehe

 

take your belt off and see if you can wiggle any of the pulleys......mines been whinin and i did my waterpump today and my tensioner pulley is shot

 

i replaced my tensioner pulley and it didn't change anything lol. still makin that same retarded sound. i checked the other pulley's and the only one i found that had any slack or movement was the power steering pulley and i don't know if it's supposed to be there or not. it moves in and out on a "shaft" i'm guessin. but besides that nothing has slack in it. and suggestions?? only thing else i can think of is it might be the water pump it's self. is that possible?

 

Does your old belt whine? You could try throwing it back on and see if the noise goes away. What brand did you buy? I've had the best luck w/ quiet operation and longevity w/ Goodyear Gatorbacks.
My power steering pulley moves in and out a little but doesn't have any rotational play-- it doesn't leak and doesn't whine. I was told it was normal (by the stealer).

 

IIRC ... someone here just fixed a belt whine with a Gatorback.

 

Mine does the same thing...and, I actually had someone ask me if I had a supercharger...lol

That was enough right there for me not to do anything about it

 

i've had a few people ask me if i had supercharged it lol but it gets on my nerves. if i had the power of a supercharger i wouldn't mind the noise lol

 

my buddies honda accord did it when he got a new belt its just the new belt is a lil wider then the pully. we shaved a lil off one side and now it doesnt wine at all

 

i'd have to go look at it i haven't really paid attention. where would i get a gatorback belt?
