My 2003 Ford Explorer has a high pitched whistle around 2000 RMPs. If I accelerate or decelerate the whistle stops. I've replaced the idle aircontrol valve, as I read this could be a possible solution to...

you may have a tensioner or idler pulley starting to go bad. They make a high pitched whistle when the bearings are on thier way.

Simply have someone slowly bring it up to 2000 rpm and listen with the end of a wooden broom handle touching the center bolt on each. Be careful not to get caught.

If you're not used to this you may be able to hear it whithout use of the "hearing aid"

Your drive belt may simply need dressing. You can buy this at almost any auto parts store for about 4 bucks. (dont use anthing else as you will cause the belt to stretch creating more issues)

Sounds like a vacume leak, chk. for a cracked or broken vacume line or maybe one came off. Does it idle ruff? With it running open hood and listen for a low pitch whistle you may have to rev it up a little.

High pitch whistling noise in engine compartment of 2005 envoy

There may be a small hole or cut in a vacum line or possibly just loose. Also make sure the air filter box and the big hose to it are secure and clamps etc are tight. Pulleys and belts can make a high pitch sound also.

Check for a vac. leak. First listen for a whistle or a high pitch sound if you have any fix them. You can get a can of carburetor cleaner and spray around the vac, hoses even the big one on the brake booster unit and the back of the master cly.
