I am hearing a High pitch whine, not a whistle, when I touch the gas pedal to accelerate my vehicle. Was not there before. My engine started to whine when I started my 2005 Chrysler Town and Country and continued to whine upon excelleration. Once the vehicle is warmed up the whining stops. I replaced the serpentine belt and the problem still remains. Any ideas.
Hi Pullerwife,
I have a few suggestions for you,
First of all, check your air filter, make sure its clean, not clogged, and doesn't need to be changed.
I don't know how handy you are, but if you are fairly handy, check the idler pulley bearings, if your not, have a shop check it out, as a last resort.
Power steering pump/fluid being low is also a possibility, but thats usually more of a lower pitched whine then what you describe.
You say once the vehicle is warmed up, the whining stops. Does Weather seem to be a factor as well?
Hope I've helped, and don't forget to rate.
