- 1996 Explorer Eddie Bauer
First let me say - I really appreciate this forum ! Its a huge help to have the experts offering their advice. Im pretty savvy but not too sure what is going on with my 1996 Eddie Bauer, stock.
198K miles. Fluids seem fine. Recently changed the oil. This new whine sound - reminds me of a catfight, the low level growling from a male cat perhaps. If the engine revs, the pitch goes up (until it cant be heard anymore). The sound appears to come from the engine compartment (as you face it).
Ive no idea how to diagnose it myself. No check engine light. Idle on this vehicle has a been very rough for the last two months, I just havent gotten around to taking care of this. The idle issue could be a bad O2 sensor ?
But what is the whine ? Its really stressing me...
