mdelorie Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 on the squeal, CV joints maybe? Inspect the boots for damage, make sure they look and feel normal. on the rev? sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.P.Productions Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 sounds like abushing or U-joint... my brother in law had a similar problem after he loaned his blazer to his brother in law for the weekend while he was out of town I never asked him how he fixed it tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you replaced anything lately ignition wise? Does it do it with change of tempreture, time, etc? If I was to start with ideas... could be a faulty wire / plug anywhere to a dying ignition coil. Double check records on what you've replaced; also you may want to check for good spark on all cylinders. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.P.Productions Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 now that I think of it that reving problem sounds familar.... on my moms bronco 2 when the engine is running cold like when it first cranks up it does that but she avoid the problem by just giving it 15-20 minutes to warm up in the morning before she heads off to work.
