96 chrysler sebring whines on acceleration but when i stop pushing the gas pedal it goes away

Hi there,

The sound you hear, is it a whining, popping, grinding, scraping or rattling sound?
If you drive a manual transmission vehicle and notice a grinding noise, it can indicate the clutch gear is no longer disengaging correctly.

Make sure that your alt belt is tight and not slipping under the strain of acceleration.

Camshaft sensors fire the injector sequence. If all else is good. You would just start losing gas mileage. Hesitation is usually a dirty air filter and throttle body. What codes did you get?

Don't know why you would be here asking or driving
a vehicle with that issue & the emissions light on.
It should have been in a shop a long time ago
I'm going to guess & say the Exhaust Converter is worn
out & blocking the exhaust getting out & you have to check
why it failed & correct those issues before installing a new one

Could be your fuel pump.

This is not the fuel pump. It sounds like the computer is not setting the proper fuel mixture.

Hi Pullerwife,

I have a few suggestions for you,

First of all, check your air filter, make sure its clean, not clogged, and doesn't need to be changed.

I don't know how handy you are, but if you are fairly handy, check the idler pulley bearings, if your not, have a shop check it out, as a last resort.

Power steering pump/fluid being low is also a possibility, but thats usually more of a lower pitched whine then what you describe.

You say once the vehicle is warmed up, the whining stops. Does Weather seem to be a factor as well?

Hope I've helped, and don't forget to rate.

change air filter, Sparks and clean injectors.

You have may have one of the following issues, low fuel press due to a pump or plugged filter, a plugged exhaust system, mainly the cat converter, a defective MAF sensor. Do you have any trouble codes
