s14 ka making loud screech sound

[capones14]

so i have a 95 s14 with a ka. i got it with 110k now has 112k. when i mashed on the gas it made a nasty screeching sound at higher rpms and a loss of hp. wouldnt go over like 30, unless i rolled into slowly? any ideas? dont think it was belt. maybe timing chain, also have been told ac idler pulley?

ps. problem went away, just wanna know what it is befor it comes back.
thanks!

Your belts

How do you expect us to tell you with no video?

sounds like a belt. Maybe oil on the belt or a loose belt. If you lose power, I'd assume the alternator belt.

Timing chains don't screech. They tap on the guides or break.

they told me it could be the gas pump gasket was leaking and it was sucking in too much air hence the loss of power but mine didnt make the loud screech noise

still havent fixed it but it does happen at least once a day :/

check for some sort of misfire or something. i know with srs when the coil packs start to go out they will fuck up at higher rpms..dont make a sound though..

i dont wanna sound stupid but you said srs. my srs light is on but i thought that was because airbags? please correct me if im wrong.

Hey man i had the same problem..thank god mine was easy... Does it sound like a suby once you punch it? if so, you could be misfiring. I checked my spark plug wires and completely changed them. Now the car is fine. but hey it might be completely irrelevant.

[capones14]

and srs lights not on just checked its on in my wifes car. got them confused
