Hey All,
I have a 4.7L V8 and I installed the K&N FIPK. I followed all the instructions to a tee, except one. The only thing I did not do was cut down the length of the crankcase hose. Instead I just slapped the silicon hose included with the kit on the end of the crankcase hose and it fit over on the intake tube just fine.
The problem I have now is if I barely depress the accelerator pedal (such as you would do if you're up to speed and giving just enough gas to maintain speed) I get this very high pitch electrical whine (as opposed to the whine from the drive belts when you gun the engine). The sound is similar to fluorescent bulbs getting ready to go bad or if any of you have heard a CRT monitor on the fritz. Again, this only happens when I barely depress the accelerator pedal and will go away if I push further down or completely let off.
The only thing I could think of involving electrical was the temp sensor and the two wires that lead to the connector, but the position of those wires has moved so little I can't imagine it being the problem.
Has anyone here seen or heard of this problem? All responses appreciated!
Thanks!
