There has been something wrong with my car for like a ltl over a year except i have never figured it out before. Like once in a while when im giving the gas constant pressure or slight acceleration around like 45mph i hear this weird rubbing type of noise in the front, but cant tell where and my pedal starts to vibrate a bit and gets a ltl light. As soon as i take my foot off the pedal or give it a good amount of gas it goes away instantly. I have no clue what it is and cant really explain it so i have no clue whats wrong or where to even begin to look. And i dunno if its in my head but i think it has been happening a ltl more frequently lately but im not sure.
The only thing is ive had it for such a long time that im guessing its nothing major, well at least i hope so. But im getting really curious. And i cant just make it happen either so its hard to show people.

Any thoughts of what it might be or where to look?

 

i feel a change in pedal firmness when my ac compressor kicks in at idle. maybe it's the same thing happening to you at constant throttle? try it without ac running and see if the prob goes away

 

my ac has been out for two years ahha i need to still get that fixed. But anyway the noise i hear is not the ac compressor its something else that is not that good. And it will stay there as long as i hold my pedal in the same position but as soon as i let go of the pedal it goes away.

 

holy hell!! two years and no AC... i would have a heat stroke!

 

yea haha well for almost one year i didnt drive it much except for some weekends cause i was at college and i didnt take my car

 

No AC in cali? well I think that'd be a bigger problem


maybe something to do with the idle?

 

yea im getting that fixed this upcoming weekend. Would have been done a lot earlier but i got real lazy and windows down is not so bad sometimes

 

ac out...belt is disconnected/climate control is set to A/C OFF? otherwise it may still be trying to run the compressor, creating the symptoms i described

 

and damn you californians with your perfect weather, here we're either heating or cooling all the time

 

ohh okk well i think tomorrow if i have time im gonna go see a mechanic then ill probably have to order parts and all so if it goes away then that will be good.

So i found a leak the other day coming from a black hose behind the left front wheel. And it is oil thats leaking. Is that powersteering, brake fluid? One of those im not sure which one

 

Could be the transmission chattering from not knowing what gear to be in? worse case scenarion.

Check:
Motor/transmission mounts
Any suspension parts{tie rods,ball joints,Bushings}
Bad alignment
Low transmission fluid or faulty transmission

This is just a few things that i would check.

 

I had a slight feeling that it would be the transmission but i hope it isnt. I actually do think i need new transmission mounts. Motor mounts have been replaced. Alignment is good. I'm pretty sure suspension is good. Ill check transmission fluid tomorrow. Thats the yellow dipstick right?
