smoking and whinning sound = : (

[dogdrinkincoffee]

My car makes a low to high pitch whining sound and some times my car starts smoking and goes away. I do not know where the smoke comes from but i can hear the whinning sound in my car and near the throttle body in the engine bay. does anyone have any ideas?

a loose alternator belt can cause smoke?????

if the belt is slipping on the pulley and melting, it can sure smell awful.

Not sure how much "smoke" you are seeing...

[dogdrinkincoffee]

its a decent enough to be like oh shit and pull over but everytime i pull over it stops smoking but the weird thing is i dont smell burnt rubber

You are in SD? Where abouts? I get off in about 45 minutes.

oh sorry i live in near la jollla off the 805 do you happen to go to the tue meets near in n out?

[daryl337]

I don't. I live in the ghettooooo/euclid area, I just figured if you were on my way home from work in clairmont I'd swing by and check it out.

Does it happen only when you are getting in mid-high rpms and when warmed up? If so, do you still have the stock fan clutch? Usually, that won't "smoke"... but it could explain a squealing sound. You indicated it stops when you pull over, are you able to hear it when you pop your hood and rev it from under-hood?

it usually smokes on idle i hear a low pitch on idle and as i reach 2.3 3 rpm on 1st gear the pitch gets higher then after 2nd gear i dont hear it. When i pull over and stop it stops smoking .... and i rev it from the throttle body and i dont hear it as much as if it i reved it in the car
