3S-FT Corona Whistling under Load

[Corona]

Like the title sujests, my engine is "whistling" when I get the revs up, about ~3500rpm+ under load, Its not the turbo, as I dont have one. If I am in nutural & ref no noise. I know the air cleaner needs replacement & I am going to give it a iol & filter change next weekend when I have time.

The only thing that I can think of is a perished vacuum hose, but wouldent is whistle when in nutural??

my mates corona does this.
his car also smells of curry powder.


Take the air filter out and see if it still whistles, might be thingamajiggy getting fast air going though it and doing the whatsitcalled, you know that guy umm whatshishandle.

you know?

actually now that i think of it, when he cleaned his car of the whatsthatsmell the whistling went away, odd.

so clean your car off any excess curry powder.

Well Checked, No Curry
I took the Air cleaner out for a short while, but still the same. I will have a look in the weekend when I get some time to see if there is a leaking hose.

I know it might sound silly, but is your stereo turned on when this happens? Tried turning it off?

Sometimes feedback coming through the stereo makes a whistling noise that rises and falls with the revs ... have had this in two cars now.

Maybe there is a secret little supercharger in there?

Be sure to clean any excess rice of your aswell.

try turning the air-con on and off and see if it effects the sound. My old 4S-Fi corona had a stuffed bearing in the aircon compressor and it used to make a hell of a noise.

Its not an Altinator wine, I am begining to think that ether the alternator berrings, or the A/C berrings are starting to go, but taking the drive belt off & feeling the drive shafts of wach unit, they seem fine.

I'll take it into Albany Toyota when I am next passing to see if they know what it might be
