whining noise from engine bay
 

For about the last 5K miles or so i have had this whining noise coming from the engine bay when i have my foot on the accelerator it just keeps getting louder until i hit 80MPH and then its gone anyone have this problem , i took it to my local acura dealer and they did a complete engine flush and tranny flush under warranty and it got a lot softer and then came back again. by the way my car has 36K miles on it and all maintenamce has been done at dealer. any input would be appreciated

mine was making that noise just a few days before my tranny went out. not sure if it was related, but when i got the new tranny, the noise was gone too.

same symptoms as you . a whiny WHEEEEEEEEE noise when i accelerate

It could be a vacuum leak.

If you hear whining from your engine its nothing to worry about... your car is female... just ignore it :D :D :D :D

Do you have a CAI?

Like Nicky pass said, it may be the CAI.... U can hear a lot of things when ur stock airbox isn't there to muffle noise :)

Maybe someone snuck a supercharger in there :)

nope no intake , but the vacuum line is a good possibility well thnx for the suggestions Jeremiah

OMG!!! Mine started making that same whine 4 days ago after taking off hard with a cold engine! I am completely obsessed with figuring out all of the circumstances of when it does it so the dealer can tell me that they "don't hear anything out of the ordinary" - they never hear anything!

It's the tranny... Torque Converter bearings are going...

god I hope not. replacing the tranny is not fun. I hope they have one in stock if it is...

best of luck to ya.

well friday my car went in to acura to be diagnosed the tranny was shifting very hard and sometimes didnt want to shift at all so i dropped it off and they gave me a corolla rental (gag) but anyway its better than walking and good news for me is that they have 3 cl-s at the same dealer with the same problem so they will be proficient by the time they get to mine.

Another one bites the dust :( :mad:

WELL YESTERDAY I GOT MY CAR BACK AND IT IS RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY AND AFTER ONLY ONE WEEK OFF THE ROAD. THE ACURA DEALER ACTUALLY IMPRESSED ME FOR ONCE THE WHINING NOISE IS GONE AND THE CAR SEEMS A LOT SMOOTHER THAN BEFORE.

Well, what was the problem and what did they do to fix it? I still have that whining noise but everything else seems to be in perfect order.

There are soooooo many things in an engine compartment that could possibly make noise.

THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR IS RUNNING VERY SMOOTH AND THE WHINING NOISE IS GONE. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS A CASE # ON IT , DOES ANYONE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS? THNX IN ADVANCE.

Wow! Sorry that happenend, but glad your car is running well. I am going to just crank up the volume on the stereo until either the car dies or it goes in for it's scheduled servce in 2K more miles.

Wonder how many have actually failed. 3 all at once... man. chitty. Glad everything turned around for ya quickly!

I told you guys MONTHS ago that the service manager at my dealer said they get at least two CLs a month coming in with tranny problems.
