This morning soon after I ordered the harness my mechanic called me, but I was in class and missed the call. When I returned the call he said I could pick my car up later that day and I didnt need the harness... He changed the timing cover from my old motor onto the new one. All is well except the gas peddle seems to hard to push, when I pushed it down hard it made a screaming noise.

 

Made a screaming noise at WOT? Hmm...i don't like the sound of that.

 

Sounds like he needs to adjust the throttle

 

I was thinking something like that, would it be an easy job to do myself?

 

of course. theres 2 cables on your throttle linkage. 1 is your accelerator , and the other is your cruise control. all you have 2 do is loosen the nuts up on the accelerator and then adjust them 2 wats comfy for you then tighten them up. shouldnt take you no more than 3mins

 

Did the motor make a screaming noise or the throttle?

 

the motor?

 

Screaming noise like you are describing usually indicate a worn or loose belt. Did you put new belts on the power steering and ac when the swap was done?

 

Sounds like the motor which could be a belt like bg said, adjusting the throttle cable would help the mushiness of the peddle

 

Nope, just new engine mount, timing cover gasket,oil& filter, and radiator cap....


but IDK maybe it was just because it hadnt been ran today its great. I can only drive it around my block though because I turned in my license plate to avoid flags. however, im going get it back tomorrow. and hopefully gonna get a new headunit. mine was swiped.

 

no more screaming/whining noise? That's great, but I'd be wary of it coming back.

Your hu got swiped while it was at the shop?

 

haha, i wish. then id know where to get it back from. no it got jacked a while back because my car was unlocked.
