95 geo prizm Sign In

recently a purchased a 1995 geo prizm. One week later I started noticing this humming noise when I turn the car on that doesn't go away. Also, when I accelerate, I hear a...umm...odd sound coming from the front of the car. Kinda like a whistle maybe...or the sound of a top spinning. Please help.

Check for a bad bearing in a belt driven something. Taking belt off may make it easier to isolate which one if that is the problem,

Is the bearing or belt for the humming sound or the acceleration noise?

If need be - take the belt off. Engine can run for a short while without it and if noise is gone it would be belt itself or belt driven item. Don't drive a car with the belt off and not for long even for a test,
