noise comming from engine
Hey guys,
There is weird noise coming from the frontdash, could be from engine. It sounds likethe timing belt activating something (or some sort of belt). Could that be the AC? Even though myAC and air is not on?
It's worst on hot days.
AndI feel like my engine is loosing power each time.
Does anybody else have that problem?

You have timing chains.
When does it happen? Driving? Idle?
Need a little more info...

What kind of sound is it?? I'm not sure what you mean by "belt activating." Is it chirping, or squealing?? Is it a clunking, or tapping?? Does it sound like popcorn, or marbles in your engine??

hahaha. ok
First I hear a sorta deep sound like somebody would hit my front dash with the head of a screwdriver. That's coming near the passenger(middle)front dash engine area.
Afterwards you hear the engine working a bit more and the lost of power.
Guys, I appreciate all this help. I actually went to ford mentioning this and they checked it out. All theysaid was that my AC was starting. Also, they said that this was normal even if the AC was not on.
But nobody seams to have noticed this on theirs. And believe me, you know it if this happened to you, the idle change, plus the noise.

could be the clutch(es) in your a/c compressor...when you turn the a/c on does it stop, does it squeal at all?

hum. I'll have to check into that.I have no idea how the AC works in the hood. I'll to mention it to my mechanic.
WhenI turn the AC on, i never hear that starting noise. Also,I never hear squealing.
