    Help. Any idea? Whistling sound from engine + Check Engine Light

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Before I bring it to the dealer, i'd like to know what i should bring to their attention first in the case they don't find anything...which has happend before with a loud "clank" form the front end a few weeks ago.

    There's a loud whistling noise at idle, sounds like a constant sound of a cricket. Plus, the check engine light came on after i noticed the sound after i parked in the driveway. Does anyone have any idea what that could be?

    Thanks.

    Greg,

    I have a similar issue, however my engine is just rough and noisy, drives like crap.. I am trying to figure out if my PCV is the problem, I went to the dealer but of course they didn't check it even though I asked, thinking they know better for a change.

    So I tried what you suggested (removing the oil cap while engine was idle running) and sure enough it was under vacuum, I did not remove it completely though (for fear of wearing engine oil in the face hehe) but as I pulled away, engine started wanting to stop...

    So essentially, should the case be under vacuum or not?

    Thanks
    Eric
