My car makes a pressure cooker noise when it accelerates

There is no acceleration what so ever, the sound is noticable when you turn on the car to idle; when driving it sounds like a pressure cooker on high heat. The car can only maintain a speed of 60 mph if it can get up to that speed. The check engine light is on, but I know that I already need to replace my cadalitic converter. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

You can disconnect the negative cable of the battery for a couple of minutes (but you will lose radio settings and possibly others that the car will relearn), or you can go to an auto parts store such as Advance Auto or Pep Boys and they have a free scanner service to diagnose problems that should be able to reset the light. Mine does.

when the fuel nozzles are partly blocked this type of defects are experienced. Try "wurth nozzle cleaner" and see.

SOURCE: 2002 Suzuki xl7 Mysterious Overheating Issue

Most Suzukis A/C systems will cut out when the engine tempurature is too high (to reduce the load on the engine). Also, in this condition, when the A/C compressor cuts out, the A/C thermo fan (electric - in front of the condensor) may come on ( to try and cool the engine). Combined with the fact that your temp gage says the engine is hot, I would be checking your cooling system very closely. It could be as simple as leaves blocking the air flow through the radiator (between the condensor and radiator), or as serious as the internal cores of the radiator being blocked (different sorts of coolant being used can sometimes produce solid matter that can do this).

Testimonial: "Great explanation and advice to check the cooling system, specifically the radiator. Unfortunately the internal core of the radiator was blocked."

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonota with 38,000 miles on it. I bought it used and I've noticed that when I accelerate past 30mph I hear the rear wheel rotating, and as I get up to speed 50-60mph the speed of the...

Sounds (pun intended) like a problem with the differential (that globe that connects to the drive-shaft and to the two rear tires. Maybe, one wheel has bad bearings, adding resistance into the differential.

Acceleration noise 2013 toyota avalon

I would need to hear the noise to give you any idea of what is causing it. Have a local dealer or trusted shop go for a ride with you, in may cases this is not charged for.

Loud noise when I accelerate

Sounds are kind of hard to describe. Bad exhaust noise can be noticed more when the exhaust is rushed in acceleration. Valve rattle can be created on acceleration as well as "spark knock".

Sometimes an air induction leak can roar when the car is speeded up. Sometimes an air filter is not fully sealed in its' duct and will make noise when drawing in air.

My vehicle makes noises when i accelerate

98% sure you have an axle problem. Might be wheel bearings depending on the sound. Bad axles will make a loud clicking noise, (click click click in rapid succession, espically while turning or under accleration) while wheel bearings will make a growling sounds.

My car makes a pressure cooker noise when it accelerates

A car engine is bound to make noises. After all, there are so many moving components and parts inside of an engine as it is running. Most of these noises are not very loud and they are nothing to worry about. But there are times when engine noises will sound a bit unusual or strange.

A good example of this is when there is a ticking noise coming from the engine. A ticking sound could be caused by any number of reasons, such as a low level of oil or loose components.

You may hear a ticking, clicking, or tapping noise while the vehicle is idling, accelerating, or even after receiving an oil change. To understand what the actual problem is, you must understand the signs to look out for.
