Oddly enough, I googled to see if I could see what the diagnosis of my problem is but google gives me 100 ideas of what it could be, it comes from the front end passenger side under the hood, its a slight squeeking sound when I accelerate, even just a little & its driving me nuts because I can't find the source of it, it doesn't do it while in park ONLY when I accelerate, I read somewhere that if the battery is going bad and the alternator charges the battery to much it can squeal like this, I haven't changed the battery since I got it & even rolling the windows up affects the voltage, any way I can check on this? I don't plan on taking it to a shop, I need a Catalytic Convertor & a new filler neck but those have problems of their own, any ideas? i'd like to just do the work on my own.

Judging from your description, it could be any number of things. Does it still make the noise when you rev the engine in park? (as opposed to idling)

 

Also, you don't really need catalytic converters, and you'll get better gas mileage if you just remove them. (not sure how legal this is in Canada though)

It doesn't squeal at all in park I threw it in neutral whilst driving and revved it up and it was quite loud, but it doesn't sound like a belt squeal I could be wrong though.

 

As for the Convertor, if I want my car to see the road again when it's time for an inspection, I have to have one installed.

Buy a Bottle of Belt Conditioner and Spray some on your Belt and see if that is

the Problem. OR AW40 Will do jus Find, Jus ONLY A LITTLE; AW40 is a Lubricant

too much N' Less Grip on the Belt.

That is the Noise Problem I have with my Truck, the Belt. Keeps on coming back. -_-

But Try to and see if that Works.

Hm, well I'm out of ideas. You'll have to get someone more familiar with crown vics or engines to help.

 

You could always just put them (I thought a crown vic had dual cats) on for the inspection and then take them off later. (not suggesting that you do :P)

It does, it's on the driver side that rotted out, I figure if it on the vehicle, it should be working, but that's just me, however, I have no horn.. which makes no sense because you need a horn to pass a legit inspection....

 

I know of 2 people that know a lot about crown vics, 1 is a cab driver that pulled his car apart and rebuilt it into a new one I towed this summer in a matter of 3 days.. the other one is just arrogant because he knows so much about them, I can't be bothered.

Ah, ok.

 

You could always try specialized sites like crownvic.net.

Honestly, your OP doesn't give much info.

 

My best guess would be the alternator or some assorted belt noise.
