welshbuddy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 if the brakes are screeching, Could it be that there is no brake pads left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra N_A Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 if the brakes are screeching, Could it be that there is no brake pads left? should rephrase it, it also makes a screeching sound when the brakes are not actually been used but when it screeches i press the brake and it stops!

fastcar Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Try a bit of copper greece on the back of the pad that should stop it. I think that sencer is the idle control valve but not 100% on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Is it still running high idle now or has it come back down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 If the sensor that you're talking about is on the throttle body, and it's making a funny noise, then it's probably not a sensor at all. You'll probably find that it's the trac butterfly stepper motor. Replace it, see what happens If you've unplugged your idle control valve and plugged it back in, don't worry it'll return to its starting location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 should rephrase it, it also makes a screeching sound when the brakes are not actually been used but when it screeches i press the brake and it stops! That's usually how the noisemaker in the pad works to tell you have have at least one pad with 1mm or less material remaining, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) The auxillary belt is self tensioned by the idler pulley, you cant tighten it. A tin of belt conditioner or a new belt may sort the problem and try to avoid getting any of the engine cleaning/dressing products on it. But first I'd make sure that the tensioner was still working as it should and I'd also perform the Tipp-Ex test on the bottom pulley to eliminate that as a possible problem.
