So I tried to ignore this new damn sound my s14 is making,but it's finally getting to me and I need y'alls help. Whenever my heater is on my car starts to make this loud twittering sound that's really annoying I know it's not my chain guide I took that off so any ideas? I know this is worthless without a clip I'm posting off my phone as soon as I get one I'll post it. Oh yeah is a 96 240sx still running stock ka.

My s13 makes weird noises when the heater is on full tilt. I shut the heater off and turn it back on and it goes away.

Loose belt?

it really sounds just like a loose belt that I had on another vehicle. Check them all and replace the bad ones, there cheap.

well if the belt doesn't help it may be a bad clutch on the compressor or bad bearing in the compressor.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, it also sounds like your upper timing chain guides are rattling.

you cant tell until you take it off. most cases when really bad squealing happens its a bearing (well in my case)
