paulconradphoto 0 Posted Saturday at 05:04 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:04 PM Hi, There is a weird squeak eminating from the left side (opposite the Serpentine belt). I disappears after going above 1100 rpm. Also, the idle is rough during warmup and will even shut the engine off while stopped at a light. Once the engine is shut off the restarted, the squeak remains, but the rough idle disappears. Car has 100k miles (just rolled over). 2002 Mercury Sable Thank you in advance.

Spridget 498 Posted yesterday at 05:11 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:11 AM (edited) Sounds like the camshaft synchronizer. Chirps at idle and low rpm, poor idle and occasional misfire. Buy the more expensive Motorcraft unit, or else you’ll waste your money buying another cheap one in 3 months. Edited yesterday at 05:13 AM by Spridget Quote Link to post Share on other sites
