Default Chatter from engine bay.

The video camera picked-up too much noise so I'm not sure this video will help with my question.

Sometimes when I crank the car, I hear a rhythmic squeak. It sounded as thought I was coming from the alternator. My 98 did it too and a shot of WD-40 fixed it right up.

Today I installed my wideband O2 so I wanted to test it out. I nailed it in second from a low RPM and let it carry up until the car hit around 6,500 or 12.5:1 on the new gauge. I let out and came home.

I pulled into the garage and I have this chatter noise coming from the car. It seems to be coming from the alternator. I say that because the noise is focused right above it. A little to the left or right and it fades.



Thoughts?
