Whine/Droan

whtpny · July 20th, 2008, 05:30 PM

Alright.. I started noticing this today, but after my car has idled for a bit, there is an intense whining or droaning noise that comes out of nowhere. I thought maybe a belt had gotten off track somehow and was rubbing but this is not the case. I have pinpointed the sound to the cai.. I can put my ear right next above the filter and that is definitely where the sound is coming from.. but why is it doing this? The only way I know how to describe the sound is that high pitched sound that accompanies a vacuum cleaner that is similar to a whine or a droan.. does anyone have any ideas?

restricted air flow through the filter?

Check and make sure that everything is tightened up, and that your filter is clean. If it's not that then check your MAF

everything is definitely tight.. and i just cleaned the MAF just a couple days ago (literally) so I guess that means I should clean my filter and reoil it?
