6409, strange noises from under the hood!!!! Posted by js99rs, Nov-06-01 07:38 AM
LAST EDITED ON 06-Nov-01 AT 01:39 PM (PST)ok first off the powerstearing pump is making a whiny/grinding noise (it was a little low on fluid but i filled it and it is still making the noise) anyone know why? the next one i dont know exactly where it is. it sounds like a sparking noise from around the plug wires are. i just got new plugs and wires about 4k ago and nothing is loose. the engine is running great and i cant see anything wrong. any ideas? thanks

might have a bad seal in your power steering pump. mine has a huge leak from my last accident so imma get one from a junkyard and have my uncle's shop put it on for me(gotta love that family discount).

Are you replacing just the pump or the lines too?

Could be the PCV valve making the noise near your spark plugs. My makes the noise even though I just replaced it.
