RE: High Pitch Whine

[Marc Gallagher <mgallagher@Langan.com>]

is the power steering pump in the front right?  i never really looked for it
but I thought it was in the rear of the compartment, near the steering
column.

My wife's '95 does the same thing.  Stock chip.  I have wondered if it had
something to do with the power steering?

> I have had this problem for quite a while, but recently it has really been
getting on my nerves. Every morning, when I start up my car, I hear this
high pitch whine coming from the front right side of the car. It goes on for
about 2 minutes and then stops.. But it only happens when the car has been
sitting for a while. Mainly in the morning and after I get out of work in
the afternoon. I recently replaced the serpentine belt, so I know it isn't
that.
>     Another thing I noticed was that it happens when the car idles a bit
high at start-up (the reason it idles high is because I have a Garrett Chip,
and I believe it is programmed to idle a bit high so that the car doesn't
stall at start-up) I have the extended warranty so I hope it's something
that is covered. The problem is that every time I go to the dealer, the car
doesn't make the noise (typical!). Has anyone had a similar problem? Does
anyone have a solution? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
