Engine problems and noises
Friday, January 27, 2006 3:36 PM
For some time now when i start the car and put it in drive i will move a few feet and something will click on in the engine, i can acctually hear it kick on like when the ac is turned on in the summer, and the lights will get really dim then get really bright again. What the hell is with that? Now tonight when i came home i was outside listenin to the radio with the car running and i heard this low groan coming from somewhere. so i turn the radio off and my engine is making this weird groan sound. I rev it alittle and the engine sounds like a eletric (sp?) motor. Like it sounds like the entire engine is one out of a radio controled car. Any one know whats goin on?

One of your accessory's bearings have gone bad.

What you have to do is use at stethascope and liten to the bearings. If you hear a bearing "scrapping" you found it.
