What would cause a loud squealing noise and the smell of something sweet like antifreeze during idle only with the ac on in your 98 zx2?

sounds like water pump going out, look around for coolant leaking, from passg side of motor, near timing belt cover, if so will need t/b replaced w/water pump.

I my 98 zx2 has a loud squeeling (havn't noticed the smell, but I'll check). took it to the dealership for service. they said it was a loose drive shaft and that I shouldn't worry about replacing it and would probably only get 60K more miles out of the car. let me know what else you find.

What are the negative effects of industrialism?

Reduction in sustainability (ecological and social). Industrialisation increases the amount of finite resources consumed. It also disrupts natural social patterns that have existed in human society for thousands of years and can be directly linked to many of the social problems prevalent in society today. Social issues include migrant labour, child labour, degraded family structures, breakdown of traditional community structures, an increase in the wealth gap and vulnerability to exploitation. The system is also vulnerable to disruptions in the chain of supply. For example, when the 2011 tsunami hit Japan, car manufacturers around the world suffered major production loss as supplies of vital components made in Japan were stopped for weeks. An industrial society relies on long, fragile chains of supply and is not self-sufficient in nature. A further problem is the drive for absolute profits and growth over sustainability. An industrial model requires investment, and investors expect constant growth and profits. Whereas a pre-industrial family business is willing to take the good years with the bad, any downturn in an industrial economy is very disruptive and can cause widespread economic hardship as people are laid off work and factories are closed as they are seen as a liability by investors. Industrialisation also increases the destructive effects of war. Without an industrial base, long term, highly destructive wars (total war) would not be feasible - although war has always existed and has always been destructive to some degree.

What would cause a humming noise at 40 mph in a 97 Sable with 103000 miles on it?

Having the same issue with my 95 Lumina. First determine if its on the left or right side, then determine if its the wheel bearing or a bearing in the drive axle. If theres clunking associated with the humming (like mine) then its most likely the latter. Is cheaper to just replace the entire drive axle too by the way

What could cause a noticeable noise and vibration from the rear axel of a 1999 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 W5 7 automatic transmission at 74 mph?

If the noise or vibration is coming from the rear axle itself, then you may have a worn set of gears in the rearend that may need replaced or adjusted. The vibration may also come from the driveshaft in need of some new universal joints. I always start with the cheapest fix and would pull the driveshaft, take it to a driveshaft repair shop and have them check balance and while it was there replace the universal joints. Reinstall the driveshaft and see if the problem is still there. If it is, then it is time to get into the rear end and pull the rear cover off and maybe determine if there is a lot of gear play, metal shavings or broken parts. It takes an experienced person to replace rear gears. Doing it wrong and getting the gear set meshed incorrectly can lead to premature failure. The average Joe can do it but plan on buying, borrowing or renting certain things to make sure you do the job correct, otherwise you will be doing it all over again. Some jobs are better left to the pros.

How much pollution does china make every year?

Pollution kills three quarters of a million people in China every year, according to previously unreleased World Bank statistics.

The figures, almost twice previous estimates, were calculated using a new statistical model. But they have been suppressed until now because the government feared they would cause social unrest, according to reports.

They come at an embarrassing time for Beijing, which is growing increasingly concerned at the country's environmental crisis, which it has promised to address.

Nevertheless, it has reacted badly to international calls to tackle the root causes, ranging from water supplies poisoned by factories to greenhouse gas emissions, to which it is now the world's greatest contributor, according to recent figures.

It says that economic growth must take priority, despite a growing number of protests, some involving violence, over individual pollution scandals.

The new study, The Cost of Pollution in China, was conducted by international and Chinese government scientists and first revealed at a conference in March.

But the state environmental protection administration and health ministry demanded that the key figures not be included for fear of causing "social instability", according to The Financial Times. One third of the report was omitted.

The missing figures revealed that 350,000-400,000 people died prematurely from outdoor air pollution. Previous World Bank figures said China had 16 of the 20 most polluted cities on earth.

An additional 300,000 died from indoor air pollution, such as the fumes from the coal-burning stoves and boilers that are the main source of heat in the country, while 60,000 died from diseases ranging from cancer to diarrhoea connected with water pollution.

Also missing from the report was a map showing the worst concentrations of premature deaths.

The World Bank in Beijing said the version of the report released at the conference was only a draft in which matters still being discussed with the government were omitted. A full report would be released "soon".

"Certain physical impact estimations as well as economic cost calculations" had been left out due to "some uncertainties about calculation methods and its application", a spokesman said.

She did not deny the validity of the new figures. The government made no comment.

That's comparing apples to carrots. Cows don't produce nearly as much carbon dioxide as cars do, so no. Methane's a different story, but cars don't produce methane, so answering this question is out of the question since the question has no merit to be able to be answered.

What can you do to your F150 supercrew 02 4.6 V8 to get a loud romping sound out of the exhaust what do you need to do to get it super duper loud?
