    I am still a JRSC'd newbie, but is it normal for a highpitched whine to occur when the car is hot? I am thinking it is either the fuel pump (Walbro-GS342) or more likely the Cartech 20005 unit, since it sounds like that is where it is coming from. Sometimes there is no sound, sometimes a little when I first drive, say less than 30 minutes. On a long hot drive, like an hour the sound is very loud, and occurs even with the motor off but the power still on. Anyone offer up similiar experiences or have a suggestion? Thanks

    with the car on ignition 2, and a whine existing....the whine is probably going to be related to your fuel system. Odd enough, I have 3 whining sounds ...none are problematic.... but none are really "loud" as you say yours is..

    1)my iacv makes a whining sound....when in ignition 2... Completely functional, so i don't care.

    2)my walbro 342 makes a slight whining when the engine is on.

    3)my fuel rail area/stock fpr/accumulator cap area makes a whining sound when the car was just shut off.

    Also, search for "idler pulley"

    some of the idlers have failed and make loud wirring noises, JR will replace them free.
