Thread: 1997 200SX SE-R again, potential water pump?

Ok, got another issue with this flippin car. So a little while back, I thought that I was hearing a belt squeal. Checked, belts look good, lubed them anyhow just to be sure, they seem in spec on tension. Had a friend look under the hood, water pump was jumping a bit on start up. The squeal persists mainly after startup for the first few tenths of a mile of so. Sound seems to be somewhat dependent on amt of pressure on the clutch. ALso throughout the winter here, I have been noticing a burning type smell that comes through the vents if the heat is on. When I cut it off, the smell no longer is prominent. I dont know if that is heater core on its way out or if its something else that I am only smelling when Im pushing the air through vs. just having the dial on off.

If you still got powersteering 1st check the fluid may be needs some. 2nd your powersteering pump is starting to go.

P.S. This the area for new members to introduce them self to the forum. This type of thread go either in general sr20 or all motor

Thanks
