Whistling under load


My car has a high pitched whistle noise while i give it about 1/2 throttle in any gear, then it will go away. I have checked for vac leaks, cleaned the MAF and throttle body, put in a new pcv valve, new air filter, and the new intake gasket seems to be in place. I actually have more vacuum pressure then i did before i pulled my motor out. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before, or have any input? Thanks in advance!

I get a slight whistle when I give the car a decent amount of throttle. My whistle is one of my pulleys making some noise, I think it my be the AC delete pulley. I replaced the baring in the pulley but it still makes some noise.

my summit throttle body sounds like a turbo sometimes

you can actually hear the air being sucked in from inside the car

its noticably loud outside the car too

Its weird because its didnt do this before i pulled my motor out. The only things i changed on my motor was the AC delete(one that moves the PS pump up) underdrive pullies, egr and emission delete.

Gonna start driving into any hittable object or human if I cant track this down. It sucks that it wont do it when i rev the motor when its parked, only when i'm driving. Its like a high pitched squeal that you would think was someone blowing a whistle in your ears. Its only at certain throttle positions. Ive checked for vac leaks, cleaned MAF/Throttle body, new air filter, new PCV, new IAC, re-tightened connections, checked gaskets. Any other suggestions?

probably a pulley or something along the drive-belt system

also check driveshaft, u-joints, pinion seal, etc..

Ya it has a 70mm throttle body with a 73mm MAF. The only funny thing is that it didnt whistle like this before i took my motor out. Thats why I am baffled. You'd have to go for a ride in my car to listen to this whistle. Its so weird.

P.S.
I only wish it was the culprit of this whistle was a turbo lol
