Okay, my car makes a grinding noise at high rev's. I have just replaced the engine, and the tranny, and the starter. There is plenty of fluid where fluid is applicable. Any ideas on what I should check?

check your belt-driven accesories....my a/c compressor cluch made a grind noise at high revs because it was broken i guess...now my a/c doesnt work at all...push the button and nothing happens..no click, pop nothing..sorry for jacking the thread...good luck! it could be the alternator, waterpump, belt tensioner, a/c compressor, etc...have a friend listen while you rev it up, this may help pinpoint your problem..

when I first got the car the A/C made a squeling sound, I had it checked out, but didn't have the money to fix it. Do you think it is the cause of this problem. Could i get a drivebelt made for a 1997 2.2 Cavalier without A/C.....put that on and see if that is the problem????

yea just measure how long of one you would need and go get one.

You could take the belt off spin the compressor and see if there a grinding noise coming from it, or GM makes an AC eliminator pulley for the 2.4s, id go to a dealer and see if they make it for the 2.2s, that is if you dont want your AC.

ok, the noise was actually coming from the flywheel. I took the starter off and inspected it for damage. I didn't find any, so I decided to check the flywheel. As I started to spin the flywheel, I noticed the bolts holding the torque converter on worked themselves loose. So One By One I pulled the out and put a lil bit of loctite on them, they shouldn't back out now.

automatics don't have flywheels...they have flex plates...just wanted to rattle your chain a little..its great that you figured it out!
