    hi all,

    would you guys know what's causing the wheezing sound on my engine when i rev it? the more i rev, the louder the wheezing. a friend told me sakit daw yun ng mitsu especially on older cars... is there any truth to this? the odd thing is i only hear this on my 90 galant but not on my 94 spacewagon?

    AFAIK, its not naman affecting the cars performance in any way, apart from that annoying sound, the car still runs well.

    what could be causing this & what measures do i need to take before it does some real damage to my engine?

    please advise

    Do you have a sound setup on your ride? Might be an alternator whine, have your alternator checked.

    is it wheezing as in the sound is like air, or whirring as the sound of a dry bearing turning?

    if it's the former then maybe a torn air intake hose? a leaking gasket somwhere in the air intake manifold?

    if it's the latter, could be a dry belt tensioner bearing, worn fan bearing or worn alternator bushings.

    Hindi ba may balance shafts ang Galant? Baka yun ang naririnig mo. They make a distinct sound.

    In exchange, you get a smoother engine.

    i have the same prob with my toyota lc80 diesel for quite some time already. should i have the abovementioned parts checked also? the sound comes up during high rev but not exactly at high speed.
