Well I dont know if its called a timing belt but its that rubber belt that connects the starter motor and everything else. Well anyways, when I push on the gas, a whriling sound comes from one of the "wheels" that the belt connects to. The belt is in decent condition. A book says that the ball bearing may be defective. Any other ideas? Thanks guys.

squirt some lube on it, cant think of the name comes out in a white foam though.... worked on all my squeeks and whistles [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] and cheaper than doing it the right way!!

the spray on stuff is belt dressing....my 90 civic does this and i think it might be the alternator but i am going to try some belt dressing first.

I just replaced my cam gear and that is what attaches to the timing belt, I am getting some weird sound now too.. I hope I didnt mess anything up... Maybe I'll try some of the belt dressing stuff....

I've been hearing that but haven't actually listened under the hood to see if that's what it was, I couldn't think of how to describe it, but that's it, ever since 3000 miles. I suppose I'll check later.

Man, I haven't heard any noises in my car yet. I havent' even got the rear deck rattle. Maybe I was blessed with a good one.
