I noticed the other day a noise besides my VTI Intake Valve which is COLD NOISE AT STARTUP. But this is in addition.
Once car is started, I now turn the radio off, as I want to make the sound more noticeable.
The noise gets louder when I rev up, and if I open hood, and place a wooden towel of 3 feet on the alternator, the noise does come up to my ear. So I am thinking/hoping that it is just the alternator.
Its the kind of rev the ending humming buzzing that you might hear thru your radio, but this is actually coming from the engine near the alternator or the alternator.
Wonder what other tests I could use to pinpoint it to the alternator.
Will do the job tomorrow.
Luckily getting over this cold. Finally went to the DR. and they did a chest X-ray. Saw an area that could be an infiection or pneumonia, and gave the 5 day does of Antibiotics. Feeling better each day.
