It could squeal, squeak, moan, whine, groan, and leak oil.It could squeal, squeak, moan, whine, groan, and leak oil.
Yes, and it can also whine if the fuel filter is partially clogged.
low fluid would cause this or the pump could be going out
If it has a distributor, then that is what drives the oil pump. The camshaft is what makes the distributor turn.If it does not have a distributor then the gear on the oil pump slides over the front of the crankshaft and turns when the crankshaft turns and that is what makes the oil pump work. Early 99 models had a distributor, and the late 99 did not have one.
Lack of oil or worn gears. Hope this helps, B Pacie
Its not uncommon at all for a fuel pump to whine, in fact its more often than not bad if you cant hear it.
A LOW FLUID LEVEL WILL CAUSE PUMP TO WHINE IF FULL AND IT WHINES THE PUMP vanes are scored and you need to change pump if the fluid is all foamed up you could have a hose or seal that is sucking air into pump
IF ITS NOT LOW ON FLUID THEN THE PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IF ITS NOT LOW ON FLUID THEN THE PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
It's either low on fluid or the bearing in the pump is going bad and you will need to replace the pump.
Probably not the air pump. Could be the power steering pump or the tensioner pulley or maybe the idler pulley.
it makes noies it starts to whine alot when sitting still like it has no fluid in it and after you add fluid it still makes noise or another way is it's hard to turn the steering wheel
The power steering might whine on a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer because the pump or reservoir is low on fluid. Check the reservoir and add fluid to eliminate the whine. You may have a leak in the system.
