the whine was prolly from the pump using more force to suck fuel thru the sludged filter. 'probably'... the x is still under observation though so i'll keep u posted.

wasnt so lucky with the chirpin sound tho, actually took out the belt and when i spun the alternators wheel head i heard the sound again so its probably the bearings in the alternator.

still tryin to get my hand on a diagnostic machine, will let u know when i do.

thanx again!

Clogged filter hah.. Maybe i should check my filter as well... Do i need to take the pump out to access the filter..?
