Another one for you wizards out there. The car: '83 Ford Thunderbird, 5 liter 8, auto The problem: In second gear, if I just push the gas enough to maintain say, 25 to 30 mph (read: rather lightly), a ringing sound appears from somewhere vaguely in the front, while it is moving. Sound can also be made when climbing a hill, if I push the gas and the engine doesn't feel like it's up on the powerband yet. The noise is somewhat predictable, whether the car is cold or hot. Ideas? Is this too trivial an annoyance to post to net.auto.tech? -dave -- Spoken: David Hsu ARPA: hsu @ eneevax.umd.edu hsu @ mit-prep.arpa UUCP: {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!eneevax!hsu BITnet: CF522 @ UMDD USnail: Communication & Signal Processing Lab, Dept of Electrical Engineering University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 "I realized my destiny when God came to me in a dream and told me that I was to be King of All Maryland..." -King Tom II; after King Tom III; after King Tom II; after Prince Fred..
