Hello,

Its done this before I went to the mechanics. And after, its starting up again. Its real strange.

So, I bought this car from my friend (and it worked beautifully) He loved the car, but he wanted to get a 80's Camero.

Anyways, When I was driving back home. All of a sudden! The car started to make this terrible whining sound!
But, only when the car is in motion. Does not matter if I am accelerating.
It starts around 40mph, and gets louder if you move faster.

What the heck could it be?

Thanks.

The speedo cable may need to be lubricated.
