There is the alternator, and water pump and whatever else that belt goes around, how do I know which one is making the noise, to my war sounds like the alternator but how do I find out for sure without taking to a mechanic

Take the belt off and turn the pulleys by hand. If one doesn't turn very easily replace it.

had a used engine put in my 2002 GP. left the shop. now when I go left or straight, it sounds like a truck, took it back 5 times, they kept saying number 6 spark plug ( which was changed 3 times. only time it isn't loud is when I turn right. currently it's louder! was told could be wheel bearings need greasing, have you ever heard of this? 3 Answers

The noise sounds to me like it stuck in wrong gear. You know like when u drive a stick, and it in 3rd, when it should be in 4th. It wasn't marking this noise til that used engine was put in.

I bought EGR Valve & Catalytic Converter for 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3.8L with 225k on Friday, Saturday I had it installed, I should of done the EGR myself just I'm not good with those things & didn't know if I replaced the EGR before the Catalytic Converter if that would mess anything up one before the other as I don't want to be stranded. Only thing is after those 2 things were replaced it still runs like crap. Suggestions? I've asked around. I've been told to get it hooked up to a computer. I contacted another mechanic in MN & he told me take the throttle body off & clean well & then replace.??? 8 Answers
