fuel filters

ok so how would you go about checking the fuel filter, and if its bad how would you replace?

i feel like when i rev at 4000 rpm anything after that the car starts to sqeel and make a high pitched sound...
anyone know what the problem could be?

Is you fan direct drive (by faulty equipment)?

If it is the fan belt is either making the fan coupler move by force or the fan is so hard to turn at that high of RPM your fan belt is squeaking

Yep your fan clutch is screwed. Time to get another. That'll fix your problem. I'm not sure how much it is but if you want a little more horsepower for a tad bit more money go for an electric fan conversion

1. Define a rumble... normally the VG30 has a rumble if your exhaust is hosed.

2. Ticking = 99 out of 100 times, lifters.

you might have a cylinder not firing. Check your plug wires.
