weird edc noise

[J.Cakes]

just noticed this a couple weeks ago, everything works just fine, its just makes a weird noise when the compressor is actually pumping, doesnt do it when its not, i dont think it is the actualy compressor, thinking more along the line of the idler pulley, but may be wrong, im running the airlift edc kit for a 2.2

mine kind of sounds like that a little quieter though.... and minus the import rev.

it sounds like the compressor to me. my sanden makes the same noise but quieter and a lower pitch. Only at idle though.

You have enough oil in it im sure, it almost sounds kind of dry though.

does it even after i add oil to it, added oil to it the other day, ill day some in it tmrw, but doubt the sound will go away

oh and i put my ear up to it and the sound isnt near the york, its more towards the engine side

[rockyroad217]

if its not the york, check your tensioner, my friends 98 2.2 makes a noise similar to that one and its his tensioner

figured out what it was with the help of billy(redngreedy)

it was the lower bolt on the edc bracket that goes into the engine block, it backed out about a 1/2"

thats how my ac compressor sounds.. only does it when it kicks on. hmmmm maybe a bolt? doubt it in my case.
