Gun shots from a drive-by ought to do the trick. But the magazine capacity would have to be somewhat small, or the cyclic rate quite high.
If this is a general noise, it could be the transaxle. When you are accelerating, the engine is pushing the gears, and when you let go of the pedal, the vehicle starts to shift back down. If this is an engine noise, it could be predetonation or a valve problem.
Many things, but a clutch bearing seems likely.
the clutch release could have broken , the brakes could have locked, the engine could have blown, the transmission could have broken. These are mostly things that have happened to our ranger. It depends what you mean by stops
A vacuum leak usually from the intake manifold gasket or brake booster hose/connection will cause a whistle upon partial acceleration. It will usually go away when your foot is off the gas or when more throttle is applied.
if it sounds like a high pitched whining then it may just be your cool air intake
your keys?
The engines timing could be advanced to much. If it's a front wheel drive a CV joint could be going bad. Knowing a more precise area of where the sound is coming from might help to identify the problem.
This vehicle is notorious for a "whining" noise. The slower you drive, the louder it is. At first I thought our power-steering pump was going, or the transmission was whining. Two mechanics told me it's normal. Just a quirk with Dodge/Chrysler products. I had that whining noise and it was the alternator making the noise through the radio. even when the radio is off. Just a thought.
it stops accelerating at terminal velocity due to the air
A bad pinion bearing in the differential is to blame
My 98 Ford Explorer eddie bauer edition as started to make this whining noise when im accelerating.. it stops when i take my foot off the gas...what is going on?
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
