Hello,
Brand new (3 weeks) 2004 Xterra owner. Tonight my Xterra seems to have developed a high pitched whine coming from the engine. It happens during acceleration and while driving; basically when the gas pedal is depressed. If I depress the clutch and coast the noise stops. If I am fully stopped and not in gear and I rev the engine, I can hear it start up. My Xterra is a V-6 manual.
Any thoughts on what the issue could be? I plan on taking it in to be looked at by the dealer, but being the new owner, every odd noise seems like a cause for concern and I wanted to get an idea of what the problem might be.
Thanks!
