loud annoying whining
Hey everyone, I'm a new member here on the Mercury site. I have a 94 Grand Marquis with around 175k miles on her that my family has had since new. Its always been a good car to us. Runs strong and shifts good for its age and still has cold AC!
Lately its had a strange whining, almost whistle at certain acceleration, but recently on a 200+ mile trip the whining became extremely loud and high pitched to point of giving me a headache. But it continued to drive and shift just fine.
The whine would get softer and certain throttle positions and higher at others, but would disappear if I let off the gas completely, and then make a grinding whine when slowed under 15mph all the way to a stop.
It doesn't sound like power-steering because the sound continues even at speed and it doesn't squeek when turning in and out of parking spaces.
I'm really at a loss for the cause of this whining, I usually can figure anything out with my car.
Thanks for any help.
