1997 Vauxhall Vectra 2.0 LS with Engine Faults - titchels
Hi i have a 1997 Vauxhall Vectra 2.0 LS. when i bough the car a week ago it didnt have a ny faults. but middle of last week i have had a very high pitched whistle from the rear of the engine bay. i have checked the pipe to the air filter and cant seem to find where it is coming from. the sound does go when you accelerate but is constant at idle. also it has now started to cut out at idle. it can sit there idling for 15 min with no problems, but when i drive for a bit then stop at traffic lights etc it will idle then just cut out, will restart with turn of the key. but its getting quite annoying.

any suggestions.........

This was posted in the Attic (attached to a whinging sticky from me) Brought it downstairs for more exposure.

Re: the whistling, Check that no exhaust studs have snapped off.

Re: tick over problem. Sounds like the all too common problem of a sticky idle speed control valve that could do with a clean.
