Why does my car sound like its whistling when I accelerate?
Why does my car sound like its whistling when I accelerate?
The sound you are hearing is air leaking across a damaged gasket or a warped sealing surface. With the throttle closed, or in deceleration mode, the manifold pressure is very low and if there is a leak anywhere in the induction system that should normally be sealed, you will hear the (very common) whistle.
Why does my car make noise when I go over 20 mph?
If you hear the noise above 20 mph it’s most likely a wheel bearing noise but it’s not a bad idea to check the tire tread to be sure the tires are not chopped or worn uneven. If you what to leave me more details about the noise I may have a more definitive answer to what may be the problem.
Why do I hear a low pitched hum while driving?
While driving, you hear a low-pitched hum. As you accelerate, the noise gets louder—maybe it sounds like an airplane taking off—but after a certain speed the volume is consistent. When you make a turn, the noise gets louder; but if you turn the other way, it disappears. What it could mean: This is most likely a wheel bearing noise.
What causes a car engine to overheat while driving?
Symptom: Engine overheats. Engine runs fine but gets very hot while driving. This problem usually occurs after moderate to extended periods of driving. You may or may not notice steam coming from the hood or smell coolant. Any of the above causes for overheating on short trips. The car is overloaded or being driven too hard.
What causes a high pitched intermittent squeal while driving?
My vehicle is a Lexus IS250 with almost 140k miles. I’m getting an intermittent squealing from one of the wheels while driving. It’s very high pitched, not a rumble, and intermittent: it comes and goes, chirping several times a second, occasionally lasting for a couple of seconds.
When does it get hot on the highway?
Thank you for your time around town it’s fine in 110 plus degree weather only on the highway around 70 ish mph for more than 15 miles is when it starts getting hot however when stuck in stop and go traffic it runs perfectly cool so I’m stumped. This says your dealing with a circulation issue.
What causes a car to overheat on the highway?
A plugged radiator will allow the engine to operate normally in town and on surface streets, but when driving at highway speeds with the engine running at a higher speed all the time, then the radiator cannot cycle the fluid fast enough and causes the engine to overheat.

Why does my car have a slow temp rise?
If it isn’t, the radiator has a flow problem. If these two steps don’t solve the problem, it is possible that the cooling fan for the radiator does not pull enough air. Finally, a radiator hose could be weak and the higher speed of the engine causes the hose to collapse and impede the coolant circulation. SnoopRob July 5, 2016, 11:32pm #3
