Op I hate to hi-jack a little bit but I never thought of posting here about a car issue.

Can anyone tell me why my 2000 sunfire (100k) idles so wierd.

I will be sitting in a drive through and the idle goes from 800 rpm - 1200 rpm and flucuates like it never has before.. Plus there is a slight bearing type low squel coming from the pulley/belt area.. I know its not the altenator I just had it replaced.. Any idea?

OP sorry to hi-jack again.. I hate to clutter the forum with non conspiracy threads though :)

You're probably low on antifreeze

Seriously


If your water pump starts leaking


1. It squeals a little

2. Low coolant causes the engine to rev up and down as air pockets go through the pump.



Wait till the engine is cool ( let it sit at least 2 hours ) and take the radiator cap off and look inside the radiator.

If you don't see antifreeze ...you have a leak somewhere.
