Ok I was having a surging issue I took the IAC off cleaned it really good noticed it didn't have a gasket ordered one re-installed the IAC..I disconnected the Bat for about an Hour I also re-adjusted my TPS car seems to idle better but now I have this LOUD whistle from the intake...if I rest my foot on the Gas pedal it goes away...it still has a slight surge on Re-start even stalled one time...The car has a 70 mm BBK TB on it I have no EGR im usung a spacer with an EGR block off plate...Im wondering whats wrong NOW?.....

BBK throttle bodies are notorious for whistling.
By fixing the gasket issue you probably sealed everything up making it whistle from the same place everyone has an issue with.

I don't know what spot that is, but you are far from the first to complain of a BBK issue, enough so that when i read the title i figured "must have a BBK tb", sure enough...

Do some google search for "mustang bbk whistle" there is some solutions out there. I've heard some people drill a little hole in the blade, but don't quote me on that.

Once you own an accufab throttle body it's hard to ever consider another brand. Just wish they weren't all polished.

This is pretty close to what you do. If you're lucky, this works the first time.

What it requires is that you change the shape of the hole that's in the throttle body. On way of doing that, would be to drill it out. You can also use a small dremmel to make slight changes (to make it stop whistling).

I guess no one reads my posts it used to Have RTV and no whistle...OK the car developed a surging problem after RE-start so I ran the codes then I decided to clean the IAC I took it off there was no GASKET...I cleaned the IAC re installed it with the gasket the car developed the whistle...and I did the re-set idle and adjusted the tps the car runs great on intial start up if I shut the car off and re-start it it will not idle well it will surge try to stall I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it idling...once it settles and idles ok it runs fine again...if I shut it off the process starts all over agin it surges...So what should I try next????? honestly im giving up...I checked for Vac leaks spraying everything with Carb cleaner I didn't hear any..so im lost....
