| Post subject: | Squeaky sound when accelerating just off idle |
Hiya all, I'm starting to get yet another new strange sound from the engine. When I accelerate from idle I get a very short squeaky sound. I don't get any power loss or anything like that. In the recent hot weather I sometimes get the J20A timing chain rattle on startup which lasts for 5 sec or so. Could both be related? I use 5W30 full synth oil and have had no problems with it up till now but with the very hot weather we've had lately the startup rattle noise now appears. I think the oil is too thin for the weather. I am about to change over to 10W40 and see how it goes. Could the squeak be from the timing chain tensioner? Or could it be from a loose belt maybe as I load up the engine off idle? I've had slipping belts on previous cars and it doesn't sound like that at all. Cheers. |

Something easy to do is check the tension and condition of your timing belt. In my experience a losse belt starts to slip under full acceleration and just gets worse if you thought it could be that. Mine looked pretty ordinary so I replaced it for $40. I need to replace the little belt going to the radiator fan 
I use 10W30 in my J20A. |

I just turn up the stereo to drown out little squeaks and rattles, if it's important it will get worse till I have to do something. |

J20a is chain, your thinking drive belt I'm guessing it would be the drive belt that runs the power steering, water pump & alternator... mine sometimes squeals when wet. what does the condition of the belt look like? is it cracked, shiny & glazed. |

Yeah good pick up Didn't mean the timing belt, the belt atari has described is what I meant.
