    So something else to add to the diagnoses, I took off the belt to confirm it's not a belt and had the engine run for a few seconds, it's definetely not a pulley. But when it was running and I removed the oil fill cap it idled down and the noise got louder, what do you guys think?
  2. 97-boxster
    Ya, I asked a shop that I was at, and he said the balancing shaft, does that sound like it could be it? Gonna take it in for a diagnoses in a week, and see what they say. Just want to be better prepared and know what's wrong so I can set aside the money.
  3. 97-boxster
    Well definetely something I did not want to hear but such as life. What do you suggest my next step is to further the diagnoses?
  4. 97-boxster
    So we had it on a hoiste, and it turns out that it's coming from the left side valve cover, what could be making this noise? What would be some good guesses? And how tough is it to fix it?
  5. 97-boxster
    Any chance this could be an exhaust component rubbing? Or a motor mount? Also my idle was going from 1000-1800, now sometimes it goes from 800-200, this change happened after i took the IAC off and cleaned it, and the throttle body where the iac goes to.
  6. 97-boxster
    C'mon guys really no one knows what is causing that noise? Really need help, i'm desperate let me know guys thanks.
  7. 97-boxster
    OK so I got some videos with the noise that is coming from the left side. Hard to hear it completely but hopefully someone here can diagnose it. Thanks guys

    Hey, the noise is coming from the left side, and the second air pump is on the right correct? I'm not able to post a sound clip at this time, but I will when I get the chance. Really bothering me, i left it at my parents till the weekend because it's incredibly annoying to drive right now. Anymore ideas? Just so when I go to diagnose it, i'll have somethings to check. Thanks a lot guys.

    Hey thanks for the thread very detailed. Now for my second issue, what could cause the squeeking just below the airbox area, puzzling the hell outta me. Its almost like 2 pieces of metal are rubbing together, not a belt or pulley, really need help on this one guys, thanks.
  10. 97-boxster
    Your first idea makes scence and would bemy firs guess though mine have usually been most pronounced at idle...If i recall corectly. How did you check your vacume lines? A loose and slipping belt can squeak but that usually goes away when it warms up Lifters to but I think that goes away. Is it a low droan on or a squeak or…. Dose it go away Regards, PK Hey,I checked my vacuum lines with a vacuum line tester, well my friend did. I think its the iac just not sure how to clean it, or the proper way to take it apart. The squeeking doesn't happen all the time, but when it starts it stays around for a while, doesn't do it if I coast, or touch the gas slightly, but revving it at idle will make it be very noticeable. Its not a belt as it was already changed. How do I go about checking lifters etc? Really want this noise gone. Thanks

    I had my PS pump done at a shop and they messed around with the vacuum lines so after fixing that it ran pretty good, then all of the sudden it start getting a ****ty idle going from 1000-1800, not sure if this is the IAC or something else. I checked all my vacuum lines and they are ok. Any other ideas? Can the IAC be cleaned? How would I go about doing that? My second issue has bin around for a while, it sounds like a bad pulley bearing, but after looking at it for a while, we found out that it's not. Its coming from the left side, below the airbox, not sure what could be causing this at all, been troubling me and my buddy for a while, just can't seem to figure it out. But we know it's definetely not a pulley on the front of the engine. Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanks guys.

    Any further insight on replacing the power steering pump guys? If someone could give me quick directions or, a link on a DIY article that would be well appreciated, let me know guys, thanks. Ok, thanks. How hard is it to change the pump? Anybody able to tell me their experience in that? Or is it pretty straight forward? Is there a bleeder valve on the pump to get the air out after? Let me know guys, thanks.

    My car is a 97, it has 95000km on it. The noise was definetely coming from the power steering pulley when i had the belt rear engine cover off, I could definetely tell, so will replacing just the pulley fix this problem? I'm going to remove the belt this weekend, and check it all out and see what info I can find about this problem. Any other insight guys?
  15. 97-boxster
    My power steering pulley is making a really loud squeeking noise and want to know if I can change the pulley or is there a bearing assembly I can get with the pulley that will eliminate the noise caused by it beeing worn out, or do I have to buy a new power steering pump? I changed the drive belt, incase ppl are thinking thats the noise. Let me know guys thanks.
