problem #3

2007Oct 22

Taurus SE 3.0L V6 Flex

  • Automatic transmission
  • 119,000 miles

The sound is definitely annoying. I put an Idler Pulley on it and it fixed it for a while, but then it came back. I found that the coolant tank was cracked so I fixed that and replaced the hoses and clamps as well. It stopped for a while then came back again. I really just think It's too sensitive to moisture being that the belt is right there. I guess fabricate a cover to fit over it to stop moisture, because when i hit a puddle, it starts doing it. Could be an alternator too. Try seeing if it usually happens if electronics are running (IE: Lights ect.). Only happens every once and again, so it doesn't really bother me.

problem #2

(reported on)

Taurus SE 3.0L V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 130,000 miles

The chirping is coming from the right side, facing the front of the car, in the engine compartment. Not near the serp. belt so I know it isn't that, but the sound does change with the rev's. Also this has caused the car to die twice when at a stop sign because the idle chokes and kills the car. Seeing a personal friend who is an experienced mechanic to find the problem; will post if found!
