Guest howardmoss Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 My 90 reattta has started whistling. The noise sounds in front of the dashboard.Sometimes, after I turn the engine off, the noise stays for about a minute or so. Can anyone tell what could be causing this? Thanks.
Guest F14CRAZY Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Maybe someone installed a turbo when you weren't looking.Anyway, check under the hood for any disconnected vacuum lines. That, or there may be a leak. The lines usually are in bad shape with our car's ages and just being in such an extreme environment under the hood doesn't help.
Guest howardmoss Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Okay, but what kind of leak should I be looking for and on what lines>
Guest F14CRAZY Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 A vacuum leak. There's various small, black rubber hoses in the engine compartment that are responsible for cruise control, HVAC, and transmission operation. Carefully, with the engine running, search around under the hood and try to find the source of the noise
Guest howardmoss Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 Thank you for the information. I will look for that. Again, thanks.
padgett Posted April 14, 2006 Posted April 14, 2006 The vacuum switch on the brake (cruise control disconnect) of our Bonneville had a very annoying whistle until I adjusted it. Might look there.

Guest howardmoss Posted April 16, 2006 Posted April 16, 2006 Just to thank f14crazy and padgett for their quick response. I did find a collapsed hose, replaced. Then I found that I was driving with the cruise control on. Whatever it was, it stopped for now. Again, thanks .
Guest DTerry Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 I haven't turned mine off in at least two years.
Roadster90 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Well, apparently I haven't done anything wrong (for a change)per your comments then, as I have always (I guess)left mine on .....
