Hi, 3.2 engine makes really high pitch whining noise at cold start

[jack0131]

Hi, has anyone encounter this problem? Only during the first 10 ~ 15 secs or so after starting the car, then it goes away. What could be the cause?
Thanks for your time.

If you can find the fuse for it and pull it you can see if it stops making that noise at start up. Sorry don't have a DIY. Do a search for SAI delete. It stands for Secondary Air Injection

No problem. Post back with results.

Just had a chance to look under the hood, am I missing something from the connector on the left side of the stick air box?? I didn't remember that it connects to nothing?

Thanks.

That's normal. Nothing connects there

It turns out that there's one little house from the top that came loose, fitted it back in but seems little loose. That's how this fix the issue :-)

Thanks.

Mind if you post a pic of the hose you're talking about. Just curious

Sure, waiting for the ECS dogbone insert, will snap a pic at the same time, cheers.

The little 90° connector on the left fell off. It hasn't been making noise after reconnecting. Seems on the loose side, maybe need to tighten with a metal clamp or zip tie.

Cheers.

Jack.
