A couple of problems with my stratus 2002 SE Coupe

Ok,I get this whistling sound only when I accelerate and as soon as I let go of the accelerator,it stops but as soon as a I press it,it does that whistling sound.

Another problem is that whenever I have my car fully stopped,it vibrates pretty bad but now it got worse.I turn on the AC and the RPM's goes up and down even though I am fully stopped.I also hear this weird noise from going to Park to either Reverse or Drive.Thanks.

I just changed two belts and the timing belt looks good.I'm still new to this whole car biz.Thanks!

ok new problems!Why does my car make this weird loud noise when I start it when it's cold?It get to normal temp. and the noise goes away.My car also vibrates when I have it idleing in "D" and when I accelerate,the vibration goes away but it starts to vibrate really bad around 100mph.When I turn my weels all the way to the left/right,it makes a squeak noise.Also,when I park the car,it goes forward and back.The car has 133,300 miles.Thanks!

that sound when you start the car is normal that is the hydrolic lifters. As for the hissing sound when you push the gas that sounds like a hose possible the pvc valve that hose will be arond your intake manifold. Or if you put a aftermarket cold air / short ram air system on it for more air flow that will make noise to. If you have a smaller engin like me. Im runing the 2.0L and when I kick the A/C on it takes alil power to run it even more so becouse of the high mileage. The more miles you have the less compression you are able to run. That is y you use more RPMs for the A/C. I will try to get back to you about your stering sound.

okay,so that really loud noise is normal?I hate it since I start the car and people passing by my car in walmart get scared.Is there a way to get rid of that hissing noise?Do you know any solution for my car vibrating?Also,is it normal for a car to not heat right away?It takes around 5 minutes for it to start kicking in heat.
