Hey everybody, I was driving about a week or two ago and noticed a strange high pitched whistle coming from my engine bay. When I got home and opened up the hood it was coming from my intake, im pretty sure. If I wiggled the intake around a little it would start to go away and then as soon as I moved the throttle it would come right back. I took off the tube coming from the air box and cleaned it, it seems fine.

I need help solving this problem, the sound is making me lose my mind. Could it be a gasket or something more?

You know I was kinda hearing some too in my '00. Thing is my hearing sucks and I am a bit of a hypochondriac with my vehicles. Kinda expect the worst but hope for the best. Anyway, I re-torqued all my intake/exhaust manifold bolts I could get too. The first, closest to the front, on the rear exhaust manifold, remember an '00 has two exhaust manifolds, was really loose. All the others I snugged up a bit. Kinda thinking the whistling is not there anymore. Again my hearing sucks.

Retorque manifold bolts to spec. I forget which one it is but one of them has a tendency to loosen over time. Also one of them has a slightly lower torque spec than the others. If it is not the bolts it could be your flywheel, I've heard that when it loosens it can make the same sound.

Manifold gasket could be perished too.

Snug up the intake bolts.
