    a few months ago I noticed a whistle noise when accellerating very quickly. Visually everything looks fine. Could this be a sensor, vacuum line or center head gasket???? Please provide assistance.

    It Could be a bad pcv valve - pull yours out, clean, check or replace ($4)


    I've heard this on a Gtp before

    thanks so much. I have replaced the PCVrecently since this whistle noise started, so the old one was not the issue either. Hopefully you have another suggestion. Appreciate it.

    Pull the pcv and make sure it has an o ring on the bottom of it. And that the top is sealed.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    thank and let me know the result. Can't tell if right or left side because it will only do it under load and full throttle.This is a strange one for sure

    Flip your DIC to the "boost gauge". You seeing boost when you accelerate? It's time for all 2004 vacuum connections to dry rot. If this is the case, check the rubber "T" under the supercharger snout connected to the lower intake manifold.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
