Squealing from engine goes away with acceleration


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I have an 89 manual 2wd 4.0. Recently I did a full tune up on it and shortly there after, the truck started squealing when it warmed up. Kind of like a whistle. It happens only once the truck has warmed up a bit. It used to take about 5 or so minutes but now it is almost immediate. It has been happening for about a month. It seems like the sound is coming from the throttle body (sound goes away briefly when accelerating or depressing the throttle lever). 

 

It also just recently developed a rough idle/ hard start when starting it warm. it's only rough for about 1 min and then once I start driving its gone. 

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

The MAP sensor hose just pushes into a rubber fitting on the back of the Throttle body. I would check there first.

The screw driver is pointing to the line. Mine will look a little different I taped the throttle body and installed a nipple. It's one of cruisers tips.

The bottom hole on the throttle body is the one that gets vacuum. The top hole is just there to hold in the factory rubber grommet.

So when I replaced my fuel injectors i snapped That hose line. I replaced it using tapered elbows and some soft brake line. It did have a leak coming from the rubber gasket to the throttle body but i used some silicone gasket and covered up the leak. I’ll check it again but I’m pretty sure it isn’t this.
