Whining and very rough idle
I have a new issue....when the car gets warmed up.
I have a whining sound, kinda like a hose leak which is evident at idle through 2000rpm. I also get an extremely rough idle, to the point where the car has died while coasting. I have no CEL. Only happens once car is warmed up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks! |

Re: Whining and very rough idle

Re: Whining and very rough idle
Seconded... almost certainly a vacuum leak or a tear in your intake hose. I had that same problem once and it drove me crazy until I found the torn intake boot.
This wasn't on an SVX though; was on my 2001 BMW 330i which was notorious for that

Re: Whining and very rough idle
All it was was a slightly disconnected hose....car is back.
