Hey guys,
I have 1997 Malibu LS (3.1L V6). About 97,000 miles. This car has so many problems, I just can't list them all. I have spent so much time and money on this thing. I've gotten to the point where I will fix only necessary issues.
The latest problem is that when I drive, the car makes this weird chirping noise. It sounds like a cricket chirping. At first I thought it might be a wheel bearing, but the noise only happens when I give it gas. Maybe its a belt? I doubt its the main accessory belt, the one with the A/C, water pump, power steering. That one just snapped after a tensioner broke. So its brand new.
Anyways, I would really appreciate it if you guys could take a guess as to what this noise is. My main concern is whether or not this is a big problem. Can I keep driving the car?
Thanks for the help!
Hope you guys are having less trouble with these malibus than me
