My 2000 lincoln towncar makes a awful noise not flex plates not steering fluid brakes . i have to rev engine to stop this .not belts

This noise will sometimes start upon starting car or minute I go to put in reverse. it will just start screaming when driving. If I rev the engine like when your at a stop and you rev the engine as if your going to race a car then it will stop. any ideas . we are replacing air suspension compressor as it too makes awful sound just not even as loud as this noise. what does this could it be the air box for emissions::

Power steering fluid is low. If that is ok then you have a bad water pump or power steering pump.

SOURCE: 96 lincoln town car- loud humming noise

I had experienced the same problem with my 93 TC. I'll try to make it short. Replace the Idle Control Valve. Cost me $50 at AutoZone. It has a electronic plunger that has a rubber o ring on the end of it. It separates two air chambers inside the valve. When the rubber gets old and the plunger is suppose to cut off the air coming in from one chamber to the other, the air gets sucked between the chambers across the old rubber causing the humming noise. That is also why the engines revs up and down and wont idle right. It is located between the firewall and the back of the motor just to the left (drivers side) of the throttle control assembly. When you look up on the internet on how to replace it, it will tell you to remove all the housing surrounding the wiper blade control arms and assembly so that you can access it. If you take your time, just remove some of the hoses and wires connected around it and you can access it without removing all that ****. Only has two screws to it that point up and can be reached with a ratchet and extension. Car runs great now and finally got rid of that noise.

Have your power steering belt checked and adjusted, or replaced if worn.

SOURCE: When starting up the Kia, screaming belts sound is heard

Hi. This might sound obvious but it isn't just the alternator belt requiring adjustment or replacement is it? Sounds very much like it from your description. Forgive me if youv'e already ruled that out.

SOURCE: My 2003 Lincoln Navigator air suspension

My 2003 Lincoln Navigator has given me so much problems, it shakes, makes annoying sound, and sometimes it turns off by itself when I'm in a stop sign or red light! I have taken it to 3 different mechanics who have said that the diagnostic shows that it's not gettting furl? They've tried changing spark plugs, gas filter...any suggestions?

Same awful noise on my 2000 towncar, it for lack of better noise, like a belt is loose but not so, i found out the place the noise coming from is air intake housing all the foam gaskets have desentegrated...

Go to a dealers parts dept,they will show
you a picture on the computer & you can point
to what you need

If it turns out they want too much for a complete
part you don't need,then you will have to come
up with your own solution for the foam replacement

1992 silverado 1500. The power steering is intermittent, sometimes it works well for 3-4 days and then gets tight at low RPM. If I put in the clutch and rev the engine during a turn it starts to work.

If the belt and fluid levels are correct there is a good chance it may be a bigger problem. The power steering pump may be the fault. At lower speeds a worn pump isn't turning fast enough to push enough fluid. When you REV the engine your speeding up the pump pushing more fluid. Get the pump checked. If that's ok your possibly looking at a problem with the rack itself. ($$$ Ouch!).

When i turn my steering wheel it makes an awful whinning sound. The first time this happened i put Lucas stop leak power steering fluid in and it stopped. that was mayb a month ago, and now it's doing...

You have a leak somewhere.. If filling the pump does not stop the noise then the pump is going bad. Be sure the leak is at the pump before you change the pump or else the new pump might go bad as well from being low on fluid.

Its likely that filling the pump back up should stop the noise though unless you have run it a while its empty.

I have a 2000 towncar wtih clinking noise under dash. Sounds like the blinker is on but it isn't. Apply the brake, stops the noise. Turning on a turn signal stops the random clicking. It stops after...

it could be in fact the turn signal sound since this is produced electronically by the cluster

pull the cluster and confirm its making the sound

I replaced quite a few at the dealer for similar concerns

I have a noise in the steering of a 1996 lincoln towncar front end.

Can you describe the noise? If it is a whine, then you may need to add fluid or flush the system. This must be done periodically just like engine oil. You may also have a bad pump if neither helps the problem. Clunking or popping while steering could be bad tie rod ends or ball joints. Look behind the tire and check for worn or ripped boots on the tie rod ends.
