1993 GMC Sierra 1500 4.3L V6 makes loud whistling noise once engine warms up. Accelerating sometimes stops noise, idling or engine in park does not stop noise. WHAT IS CAUSING NOISE?

Replace the gasket between the air manifold and the CFI.

SOURCE: Heating System

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the intake manifold and sends engine temperature information to the ECM. The ECM supplies 5 volts to the coolant temperature sensor circuit. The sensor is a thermistor which changes internal resistance as temperature changes. When the sensor is cold (internal resistance high), the ECM monitors a high signal voltage which it interprets as a cold engine. As the sensor warms (internal resistance low), the ECM monitors a low signal voltage which it interprets as warm engine.

See Figures 3 and 4

  1. Remove the ECT sensor from the vehicle.
  2. Immerse the tip of the sensor in container of water.
  3. Connect a digital ohmmeter to the two terminals of the sensor.
  4. Using a calibrated thermometer, compare the resistance of the sensor to the temperature of the water. Refer to the engine coolant sensor temperature vs. resistance illustration.
  5. Repeat the test at two other temperature points, heating or cooling the water as necessary.
  6. If the sensor does not meet specification, it must be replaced.

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check that all your vacuum lines are attached and in good condition.

SOURCE: makes a loud whistling noise after accelerating

Well, unfortunetly, a lean code with low fuel pressure and a whining fuel pump all point to a failing fuel pump, which will leave you stranded. My suggestion would be to talk to the manager of the repair shop and have them work you a deal because from what you're telling me it sounds like they missed the ball on your first two visits. I would demand they not charge for the labor, so you just pay for the part. Let me know if you need further explanations.

Good morning! Just to add to my previous question...1993 GMC Sierra 1500; I am experiencing a high pitch noise once the engine warms up. However, as I accelerate, the noise disappears. It returns when I...

sounds like a vacuum leak from a mad gasket
as the engine warms up the gap increases allowing the noise
on acceleration the vacuum is very low so the noise is not heard
check for hoses that are cracked , loose or fallen off

Idle goes up and down, sometimes stalls when switching from P to R and hesitates sometimes while accelerating - mostly when engine is colder... Help!

It sounds to me like you have a bad fuel filter. look in your owners manual to determine where it is. It could also be your fuel pump going out.

I have a 93' sierra 6 cylinder 2 wheel drive, once engine warms up it sputters and loses power. If you shift from drive to reverse it stalls and won't start. When engine has cooled it starts like a champ...

The problem may be the engine coolant sensor. If the sensor fails the engine will stop when normal operating temperature is reached . When engine is cold it will start.

Noise from engine

Check your belt. Belts will whine when they're worn, cracked or glazed. I hope this was helpful. It's not normal. Take care and God bless.

Engine won't idle,

ok code 32 is the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) this does not mean that the EGR valve is bad right off, check it and see if it is stuck in the open position, remove the vacuum line see if it moves, it should not. It is supposed to open at highway speed to recirculate exhaust gases and burn them, if the valve is stuck open the engine will not idle because it upsets the air mixture too much, if you remove the valve and see its open, then replace it.
