the chirping noise is definitely being made by the belt or a pulley.
when the car is idling the engine RPM`s are controlled by the idle air control valve, the valve is controlled by the computer.
how does the computer know that the engine is supposed to be idling?
the computer gets information from the throttle position sensor, the TPS tells the computer whether the gas peddle is being pressed,how far it is
being pressed or that it`s not being pressed at all.if the peddle is not being pressed the computer will know that the engine is idling and it will
adjust the idle air control valve to a position that allows the engine to idle at pre programmed RPMs.
if the engine is idling too low that could be caused by a dirty or malfunctioning idle air control valve.
if the engine is idling too high that could be caused by a misadjusted or malfunctioning throttle position sensor.
I found this on youtube, a guy doing an oil change on a Suzuki sx4.
below and next to the oil fill are 2 wire harnesses plugged into a sensor,i don`t know what that sensor is but if oil got on those wires the oil would
run down inside the wire harnesses and onto the pins which carry electric current to the sensor.oil is a pretty good conductor of electricity so the
electric current might be travelling through the oil from the pin or pins that are receiving a electrical signal to the other pins which aren`t
suppose to be receiving a signal during normal operation. the computer might be getting false info from the sensor, because more than 1 pin is
receiving an electrical signal. The computer might be trying to compensate for a condition that doesn`t actually exist and in doing so it is
inadvertently causing a poor engine performance issue.
