SOURCE: High Pitch whine during acceleration

well it could be a few things but most likely you belt is sliping. That is very common and happens to all cars over the years if the belt is not changed. You should check it out. The belt could be bad but it could also be a bad pully. If you dont know what these parts are look them up on google. its very simple

My 2003 Pontiac Grand Am whistles when I accelerate quickly and always when I am going 40 mph or more. It also recently started to shift differently, it feels like it is taking longer to shift.

The first thing is to make sure you are not low on transmission fluid. I would expect more a whining noise than a whistling. But the slower shifts may definitely indicate a low fluid level and/or fluid that is long overdue for a drain and refill.

Loss of acceleration in my pontiac sunfire

Sounds as if you may have a vacuum leak. Use a length of hose with one end in your ear and the other move around under hood to help locate the sound. BE CAREFUL TO AVOID SPINNING FAN AND OTHER OBJECTS. I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROCEDURE.

04 Grand Prix Cut out / Hesitation on acceleration between 2k and 3k rpms but not at WoT. MAF replaced, plugs, wires, o2 sensor (rear), Cat tested @500 degrees on output, throttle body replaced, unplug...

Check for a vacuum or air leak. Possibly a hose or intake manifold. Odd that it runs better on default MAF settings with MAF unplugged, but if no codes indicating a circuit problem, IDK. Could be a vacuum leak.

I have a 2003 Jeep Wrangler that has a high pitch SQUEALING sound when I release the accelerator. Any ideas what's causing it or how to fix it?.

I know i have the same problem, and i also noticed than when i open the Hood the whistle just stops, so i figure out it must be some air cycling in or out osmewhere, I found out my air intake connected to throttle body was misplaced a weird gap was left open allowing air to whistle. u might wanna check there

What would cause whistling noise near pully and belt area noise gets louder with acceleration

The engine serpentine belt may be worn or wet. The belt slips, causing a high pitched squealing or whistle noise. The other possiblility is a bearing beginning to go out on one of your belt driven components

2003 PT Cruiser turbo. Has just 67k miles on it. Just began making a low pitched loud whistle sound on acceleration or load/uphill. Gets louder with greater acceleration/load, no decrease in power.

I took my car to Keller's Auto Repair in Gettysburg PA, He specializes in Chryslers. I have 04 Cruiser with 2.4 Turbo that had the same whistle noise, and check engine light on. He found code P0301. The noise was caused by the #1 Cylinder injector O ring. Check them out on facebook. They will help you.

2004 honda odyssey making whistle noise

I know this original question was written quite a few months back but I was wondering if you ever found out what the high pitch sound was. I just purchased a used 2005 Honda Odyssey and it is doing the exact same thing. Any advice?
