TNX Running => whats that sound?
ok ive posted the same story on other forums so i just copy and paste it.... here we go...
alrighty, i got my TNX rebuild the only thig i lost was the antenna holder. neways i tryed to start her up today and she started, i was glad she did but my batts werent charged so i just put her on some stones and pulled the throlle abit ok now comes the wierd part. when she was started and idle there was nothing wrong, but as soon as i pulled the throttle and i let her make low revs she made a wierd whisteling noise. kinda like a tornado sound. i have absolute no clue what it could be. in the higher revs it seems to go away, but when i get back into lower revs on comes the tornado. any ideas? maybe airleak? old fuel? i have no clue. i was using my OLD tonado fuel that had been standing in hte cupboard for some time....could that be it?
hope u guys can help. [&:]

RE: TNX Running => whats that sound?
I got the same sound. I like it, and I dont think there is any problems with my truck...
It only happens when it is just starting to move on mine, like quarter throttle. If I keep the same speed after it starts, it will keep whistling until I give more throttle or let off. Kinda cool, kinda freaky... I really dont know what causes it though.

are you sure there are no air leaks anywhere on the engine/exhaust?
