Hey. I've got a 96 Camaro and when I start my car it gets an odd noise while idling. It's like a high pitched whine. I was just wondering what it could be. Thanks for any help guys.

Re: weird idle noise
could be your alternator, could be your fuel pump, could be interference in your speakers, could be your (anything else possible).
where is the sound coming from.

Re: weird idle noise
its not a problem, its normal wear and tear. GM fuel pumps are not suppose to have a loud whine noise during normal operation.

Re: weird idle noise
possibly the serpentine pulley assy ... mine was making a shreeking noise until the bearing went fully out, then it was a nasty hiss type sound ... hard to explain.\'97 Firebird 3.8 ... 1/4 mile = 12.50 (minutes)

Re: weird idle noise
you can buy a mechanics stethoscope cheap or just use a rubber hose to isolate the noise.
