Hi guys I was hoping for some help here on this matter. I have a whining sound coming from the front right of the motor. I thought it might be the Alternator or water pump. I went to a friends house who has worked on cars in the past and he put a long screwdriver on the alternator and said it doesn't sound like that is what it is. Then he put the screwdriver on the idle pulley I think and it was shaking like a Harley!! He said he thinks I need a new idle pulley, does this sound right has anyone else had this problem??
Thanks for all your help in advance!
Jason

i get a sound like that when im cruising on the highway at about 80 or so with light throttle
is that when you get it? this seems to be a normal thing with most Z owners.

Mine only happens when I am driving at low speeds I cant really hear it when I am at highway speeds only slow speeds. I dont think it is the tranny because it happens when I have the car in neutral or park too. Like I said earlier my friend put a long screwdriver on the idle pulley I think that's what it was and you could definitely see it was not right it shook like a Harley shakes at idle. He is going to put a new idle pulley on tomorrow so I will let you all know if that fixes my problem.
