Well for starter's my car has been getting really off the wall gas milage, i mean it was bad before..but now its sticking around 22-25mpg. Anyways the problem is this when i get on it, it makes this loud vaccum cleaner noise, almost a wistle when i get into higher rpms. I've tracked it down to the passenger side of the motor. Funny thing is it doesnt make much noise when i free rev it, only when im on the throttle moving. I really need your guys help, everytime this loud wistling sound happens my tires loose traction and accelerate to fast? any ideas?

Sounds to me like you have a hairdryer stuck in your engine bay somewhere.

they call it "turbocharger syndrome". symptoms... smoking tires, whistling sounds coming from engine bay, permagrin on your face, displeasure and shock coming from unsuspecting 5.0 and camaro owners. remedies..none, once you have it you are addicted for life.

I thought it was called Iccarus_Syndrome. The act of being able to fly close to the Sun like in Greek Mythology "Iccarus" and the Syndrome is being able to do it time and time again.
