Hey guys,
For almost 2 weeks now, my st205 has got a strange whistle when at idle. At first i thought it was a slippery belt, but that is certainly not the case. Then i thought it may be a vacuum leak, but boost is good all the way to red line and the whistle is only there when at negative vacuum. It occurs only after lets say 15 minutes or so and disappears when hitting the throttle a little. Could it be a bearing from the powersteering or aircon pump? It looks like the sound comes from that area. Any thoughts? -------------------- JDM ST205

before you change everything out, check one more thing, your intake manifold gasket. if its a real high pitched whistle (like tea kettle) it could be that. i had the same problem from my intake manifold (between block and manifold) when i would accelerate or car would be warm it would disappear but return at idle.
