Hi, I own a Chevy Colorado and, when accelerating, a really strange chime is heard. Does anyone know what might be happening? I was told it might be the catalytic converter.
adela, are you still having the chime coming from the engine? This van's crankshaft damper are metalic and there are some belt brands that have hard areas and thus, when reaching the dampers, they sound like a bell. In order to check if this is your case, you can grease the belt and start the engine and see whether the noise decreases or not. You can as well try scraping the belt with a plastic little shovel while the engine is working, but be careful.
Hello I was having trouble coming to a stop and my engine wants to stall so I finally came to replace the throttle body and did a tune up while under the hood with spark plug and ignition coil replacement and oil change. When I finished I come to turn the key and no start. I continue to replace the fuel pump, Mass, map sensors and crank position sensor. With my finally replace was the fuel injectors. After following the repair Manuel. Its turns on for a second and doesn’t stay on. I did a compression test and it passed with 170 psi every cylinder when I was driving lasted there was some loud noise coming from the engine but they went away. I check all the fuses and nothing blown
When off padel does not shake. But when in hwy speeds it shakes when getting to 60mph. What should I looked for i thought it was spark plugs but it not.
Often when the truck is first warming up but occasionally when I've been driving for a while, the front end will make a noise like a creak you hear while walking up a set of old barn stairs as I crank the wheels to turn the truck. It is more likely to happen when I make a tighter turn. Is there something that needs to be greased or is it just a sound from something flexing oddly?
When I press on the gas pedal to accelerate, I hear a squeak/squeal sound coming from under the truck. When I left off the gas pedal it stops until I press it again. The sound is constant when accelerating or cruising but stops when I press the gas pedal to the floor to accelerate quicker than normal and if I let off the gas pedal entirely and just coast. I'm 100% certain it's not a belt squeal. Anybody got any ideas?
I had 4 chevy colorado and they all had the same problem with the horn first its sounds weak and second I have to press hard on the steering wheel for it to sound
AC went out so it was replaced for $2400. After a couple days it started letting off a high pitched whistle. Not consistent, but often… the AC starts losing its coolness for several minutes. After a couple minutes, it’s fine.
This just recently started happening. When I start the truck I hear a loud popping noise which seems to be coming from my dashboard screen. The first time it happened it really caught me off guard and then my truck almost didn't start so I thought it was a battery issue, but now the truck starts just fine. Please advise
When driving,I accelerated and an obvious hissing noise started under engine/transmission.no power loss,no warning lights,no shifting problems. I went under truck,but could not pinpoint the source of the hissing. Any ideas?
