high pitched noise 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be irv on  Fri Dec 1 10:16 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have a 1986 240 wagon. At idle or low revs there is a high pitched sound coming from what appears to be the fuel rail. This is not belt squeal. The car runs fine and once it revs up the noise goes away. Any ideas what it is and possible corrections.

Thank,

Irv

u may be right it could be a vacuum leak. i just wasnt aware that a tiny leak could emit such a high pitched whistle.could it? If there is a leak its probably at the intake manifold gasket. are they hard to replace? how do u go about doing it?
