I have a 96 Villager with 152,000 miles. I just put new spark plug wires, spark plugs, oil change, new tires, new axles (left & Right), new water pump, rear shocks, front struts and alignment. Here is my problem now.........seems like on right front side a whining sound but can't determine where or what it is. The power steering seems to be fine and has fluid but do notice that when I turn left sounds like something rubbing and also when I first start up (starts fine) but the whining sound from right side. I also notice that when I give gas the whining sound is worse. What could this be? All belts look good. :banghead:

If your motor & tranny mounts haven't been replaced I'd bet money they're shot.

a friend said it sounds like the idler pulley locked up or going out. will check this out soon as i can and let everyone know.

You need a new upper idler pulley bearing or you can replace the the whole pulley. I had the same problem on mine. They cost about $30 bucks at autozone or any other automotive store.
I hope that you had your acc belts changed as well as your timing belt. If not replace all your belts now to avoid another job in the future.

yep, it was the idler pulley and put on new belts. Now it is running great again. :)

Great! Thanks for posting back your results. Most people come in and get the help and never bother to say thanks with a follow up.
