Once again, 3.4L Engine Noise
I am at Wits end! I have myself a very beautiful 98 4runner. haha. I love it to death, but right now I want to drive it off a cliff.
I have been chasing to no avail a ghost sound on the front of my motor.
I have replaced almost everything.
New Timing Belt Kit (This replaced EVERYTHING. Idler bearings, Belt, Water pump, tensioner, thermostat, everything)
New Alternator
New Power Steering Pump
New A/c Idler Pulley
The only thing I haven't replaced is my A/c Compressor. I know thats not the culprit.
Has someone out there found this problem and remedied it?
Btw, the sound is not metallic. Its more like a constant moan. On some days, it sounds like the whine of a supercharger.
Hope that helps.

sounds like we're playing 20 questions haha
If your rig is not a 5 speed disregard that comment... However if it is a 5 speed, it is pretty common for them to make a whining noise with the truck sitting at a standstill in neutral with the clutch engaged and go away when you push in the clutch pedal....just throwing that out there

Mine does this as well, I assume its a belt. I do smell a burnt rubber smell after a long drive, and I'm just waiting for something bad to happen
