My 7afe makes a loud whining noise that clearly comes from the air intake. The noise gets muffled when the engine reaches its working temp, but its still there. The noise doesnt react to the throttle in any way. It kinda sounds like a high pitched vakuumcleaner.
Does anyone know what this might be? Is it normal, or is my engine about to explode? It has been making this noise for as long as i've had the car, which is about 3 years. But when i installed my new SRI, the noise got louder. It's now so loud that its embarrasing:P |

Normal, the air passage for the idle speed motor is very small so during warm up with a high idle a lot of air is sucking through a rather small hole.
